Feeding wild birds is a rewarding way to support local wildlife and enjoy the beauty of nature in your garden. Different bird species have varying dietary needs throughout the year. Here's some tips to help you choose the best feeds for your feathered visitors during the next Summer months.
During the warmer months, birds are busy nesting and raising their young. They require high-protein foods to support growth and development.
Mealworms: Ideal for insectivorous birds like robins and blackbirds. Walter Products offers dried mealworms that are a rich protein source.
Peanuts: High in energy, suitable for species like blue tits and great spotted woodpeckers. Ensure they are offered in mesh feeders to prevent choking hazards.
Tips for Feeding Wild Birds
Clean Feeders Regularly: Prevent the spread of diseases by cleaning feeders with a mild disinfectant.
Gardening Know How
Provide Fresh Water: Birds need water for drinking and bathing, even in winter. Use a birdbath heater to prevent freezing.
Avoid Bread: It offers little nutritional value and can be harmful to birds.
By offering appropriate foods throughout the year, you can support the health and diversity of your local bird population.
