Ask Bill Oddie is Back #AskBillOddie

Monday, 10th February 2014

Ask Bill Oddie is back and we promise he won’t bite. Tune in to the winter edition of #AskBillOddie or, better still, take part and ask Bill a question... what would you like to know?

Ask Bill Oddie

Ask Bill Oddie is back on Thursday 20 February and it's coming *live* to twitter and facebook from Bill's garden in London. It's time to submit your #AskBillOddie questions - we'll get Bill to answer as many as he can on the 20th. We'll answer questions live via twitter and facebook on the day and record personal answers (as usual) which will be shared on the Bill Oddie's Bird Food Recipes YouTube page ASAP.

If you’re not quite sure what to ask, take a look at the previous Ask Bill Oddie questions by clicking here.

In past years we've put some amazing questions to Bill, ranging from can a swan really break a man's arm to what's your favourite garden bird? We've even asked question about Bill and The Goodies. Just keep it clean and interesting and there's more chance that your question will get answered. Thanks!

"Magpie" by Carolyn Jones

We have a magpie in our area with fawn colours where black should be and predominantly white. We have never seen one like this before (getting on a bit!!). Is this unusual?

Would be grateful for your expertise!

Haith's customer services:

Hello Carolyn,
Thank you for your comments, this is definitely unusual as they generally look the same. However, slight differences in colours can occur that could be due to different factors. It would be great if you could get a picture of it for us and we can take a closer look.
All the best,
Haith's

Hello, I've spotted a pair of birds I've never seen before. Spotted chest, grey head, broad grey strip on back, yellowish hue on chest, eating a chopped up Apple. Very much the size of a thrush, but plumper.

Haith's customer services:

Hi Marion

Many thanks
Best wishes

Hi I had a robin come everyday day for a long time but all of a sudden I havant seen the the robin for three days I hope nothing happened

Haith's customer services:

Hi Annette
Many thanks for your comment. I'm sure that the Robin is fine, he's probably out searching for other foods or making a nest. I'm sure he will return soon.
Kind regards

"Bird Feeding Stations" by MR S GREEN
24 Aug 2014

Hi Bill wonder if you can help ? Over the years we have purchased numerous feeding poles to hang the feeders onto , unfortunately they have all tended to eventually bend or lean over as the joints get worn because of wear and the elements ie wind rain ect most if not all of these feeder poles are in three or more sections bolted or screwed together . We cant find any feeder poles that are strong enough to meet our needs and we dont want to buy anymore of the same design do you know of any decent feeder poles or will we have to resort to plan b a 4by 4 post set into the ground with feeder hooks ?
