How many sultanas can a blackbird carry?

Blackbirds-carrying-sultanas

…Seems they can manage around six a trip, as long as they get them properly aligned.

These pictures taken a fortnight ago on consecutive days – both male and female birds taking sultanas back to the young, having begged for them at the patio door.

Still no sign of any adolescent birds, but hopefully they are doing ok in someone else’s garden!
