English (language): Which preposition should be used with "throw" in this context? Throw breadcrumbs for/at/to birds.
If you throw the crumbs to the birds, you want to feed them by sending the crumbs somewhere near them. If you throw them at the birds, you are attacking them (sort of : I doubt bread crumbs could harm birds). Throwing the crumbs for the birds could be throwing them so that they fall somewhere where some birds might get them (even if there are no birds present at the time).

⭐️ Anymore vs. Any more
Anymore (one word) refers to time and means “any longer” or “at present.”
Here are some examples:
• I used to run a lot, but then I injured my knee, so I don’t run anymore.
• Prices have gone up; you can’t buy a carton of eggs for $1 anymore. (you could in the past, but not anymore, not at present)
Any more (two words) refers to quantities or things:
• Do we have any more cookies? – I’m asking if there’s some additional quantity of cookies in the house.
• I lent you $100 last week – I’m not giving you any more money. (you will not get an additional amount of money from me)
