What is a garden bird?

A bird that is likely to frequent yuor garden I'd assume.
you must have seen them in yuor garden, Dodos, pengiuns,
albatrosses, emus, ostriches, the sort of birds yuo'd expect in yuor
garden.

Birds don't frequent my garden, the cat would catch 'em. Living
adjacent to a nature reserve, I don't encourage birds by feeding them
anyway. Some neighbours do and then wonder why they get rats in the
garden.

Since the cats next door all died :-) we now get plenty of birds in our
garden.
We do not feed them and have never seen a rat. But we do not live on a
stinking council estate as you do.
