Is it true that if you start feeding wild birds in the winter that you have to continue doing so all winter? I was told that if you stopped that they would starve since they know that spot as a place for food.

I like feeding wild birds in Toronto with good quality grain bread…common ones…really love these clever little creatures.
Anyway, in the one park, there is this black coloured bird that sometimes comes buy.
-> Size bigger than a sparrow, smaller than a pigeon
->Adults are very jet black, almost purple around neck
->Kind of shy, and a little agressive sometimes
->Juveniles (females?) seems to have a speckled white neck sometimes
->The seem more intelligent…enjoy blackberries sometimes, mostly bread though.
->Very clean looking birds, well groomed
I don’t think its a “raven” (??) but its quite black.
Maybe it is.
If someone has any ideas that would be great.
If you could send a link with a picture, I could see if its the one for a positive ID.
THANX

I’d like to try hummingbirds also, do they all get along? Watching these little birds, along with my cats sitting below the feeder watching the birds too, is too cute.
