FEEDING THE BIRDS. Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. New Jersey flute player Mike Rafferty, originally from Ballinakill in east Galway, claimed to have composed this tune with the help of his daughter Mary. It was, however, included in the Ed Reavy collection as Glen Reel (The), and named as one of Reavy's compositions.
