If you want to feed them, feed them species-specific food. Most birds eat worms, bugs, small fish, nuts, seeds, and will eat dried or fresh cut vegetables. NOT corn. Hawks generally eat small rodents, kittens, small dogs, turtle eggs, fish, and some lizards. Lizards eat insects and bugs.
If you have bread that's going stale, drizzle it with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic salt, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and cut it into croutons for your salad. Or add a splash of milk as the filler for meatballs or meatloaf.

That is the best answer. Plus…when we had food out for the birds we got rats. Eweh!!! Never again.
