What are the benefits of having a bird feeder in your garden?
In the UK we are lucky enough to have a many different bird species on our doorstep. However, many of these birds are reducing in number and run the risk of disappearing altogether.
By adding a bird feeder or feeding station to your garden, you can help support the wild bird population, enabling them to find food whilst helping garden birds to raise their young safely.
By attracting birds into your garden, you can enjoy a bird colour show from the comfort of your own home as you watch the feathered friends fly from bird feeder to bird feeder. It surely is a joy to observe!
There are many different styles of wild bird feeder, including hanging feeders and window feeders and feeders for larger birds.
How can I create a feeding station?
Creating an area in your garden which is specifically designed for garden birds can help create a natural outdoor sanctuary for these beautiful animals.
You don't just need to stick to traditional garden bird feeders to create this, in fact, adding a variety of different feeders to your space could create a unique space which provides food and enrichment opportunities. Hanging bird feeders from a tree or bush, or adding a bird table, creates different levels for the birds to explore and enjoy.
What is the right bird feeder for my space?
As mentioned above, there is a wide range of different garden bird feeders, including a peanut feeder specially designed for smaller birds to eat peanuts. You should also pick your feeders based on the type of bird food you wish to leave out for them.
Bird feed ranges from seeds and nuts through to meal worms and suet balls, and as a result you need to pick the best bird feeders based on the type of food you select. This includes a peanut feeder which is often a good option if you're looking to encourage larger birds into your outside space.
What kind of feed should I leave out?
