Sadly the birds and they are still very young looked to me trustingly as if I was going to feed them .

(Klondike a rabbit crossed the road among them at just the same time ) 

That must have been a joy to see, Muddy.

I haven't seen any here for years,  apart from the poor road kill ones.

I felt like the man who used to walk in front of cars with a red flag .

Well done, Muddy.    But this  is exactly what I meant back in post 13.

I would imagine those birds that have never never been out of a pen in their life,  so couldn't possibly know anything  about cars and traffic, never having  seen them.

Rabbits can be daft on roads. There is a long narrow country road to the beach where we had a static caravan and on more than one occasion going there at night there would be a rabbit just standing looking at your headlights. If you went forward slowly the rabbit would run. Not off to the side but straight down the road. On more than one occasion that happend and went on for probably a quarter mile or more.

I've never come across young pheasants but an adult at the side of the road is just as likely to trot across in front of the car as it is to retreat into the hedgerow.

Ay?    I assume you mean 'deliver'?

Have a look at their website Muddy.  They don't just do food,  they do household things, pet food, toiletries,
cleaning stuff . . .  all sorts.

I use supermarket trips as exercise. Too close to be good for the car and short enough use by times to make a couple of visits a week pretty much essential. I do go in the car occasionally to stock up on stuff that can be frozen or keeps naturally but in the main it's two or three one bag trips on foot each week. I really can't be bothered with online food shopping.

The driver has been shot and killed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3r2nz9ed3lt?page=4
