Don't forget to feed the birds in your garden - Science Oxford's Roger shows us how!

Just in case you run out of things to do over the festive break, we asked some of our team to come up with 12 simple science inspired ideas to keep you entertained for the 12 days of Christmas.
The idea is - every activity should be something you could try at home, and so in keeping with the spirit of DIY they filmed their own demos on their own mobile phones and cameras - so -although Spielberg needn't worry about his job just yet - we hope you'll agree they came up with some fun ideas with a few laughs to take us into the new year! Look out for the vids on Facebook and Twitter from Christmas Day.
