My uncle swore by bread for bird feeding, 2 weeks later I stopped

He said tossing white bread scraps would bring in cardinals and blue jays, but all I got was a yard full of starlings and a mess of soggy crusts. Switched to sunflower seeds after that and the good birds showed up within 3 days. Anyone else have a relative give them advice that backfired this badly?

Wait, did your uncle ever mention that stale bread can actually ferment in a bird's crop and make them sick, or was he just trying to get rid of old hot dog buns?

Turns out old folks' advice skips the part where you have to actually see the result yourself.
