We should all feed the birds – it’s wise to use bird feeders though to avoid too much spillage, although blackbirds prefer the ground, so put some things out for them. They love apples too – so if you have any that are going soft or rotten then put them out for the birds.
Drinking water is essential for them too – and in this colder weather it’s important to check they have some and it’s not iced over.
Bird feeder cage
If you have a problem with pigeons or squirrels then you will need to keep these away from the bird food. Pigeons quickly become a hazard if they get access to food. One of these
adjustable ground feeder cages is just the thing to keep them out.
