Lots of predatory birds like hawks. Buzzards. And cranes..ugly. But I always feed the animals. Especially ducks. Can't help but love them. The bird seed attracts other animals too. I have chipmunks and squirrels all over here.

We put out a load of fat balls on a feeder for the birds at my grandmas house, and we went to the shops for 15 mins and a when we got back squirrels had stolen them all! They are right little robbers, we had to tie them on with wire the next time so the birds got a chance to eat them.
We get a few hawks in our garden, usually chomping on some unfortunate little birdie, but hey, like that singing baboon in the lion king says, thats the circle of life, lol.
We had to ban ducks from our garden, we chase them out when ever they come in. We had a duck nest for hte last 2 years and the ducks managed to trash the whole garden, and eat all our water lillies, so now it's an offical duck free zone. (the lil ducklings were cute tho)
I remember being somewhere in the US where there were dozens of humming birds everywhere, fucked if I can remember there it was tho.
