How to Attract Wild Birds to Your Garden
Jan
Attracting wild birds to your garden can be an extremely rewarding process as you sit back and watch the nimble creatures flit around between the trees and bushes. The good news is that attracting them is an easy task no matter where you live and at all times of the year. You’ll also be helping wildlife conservation by protecting species that have been on the decline in recent years.
Our gardens are fast becoming one of the most attractive habitats for wild birds as woodland, hedgerows and suitable farmland disappears. Any garden will attract a number of birds but with a few easy additions, your outside space can become a haven!
Read our advice below and you will soon be attracting the likes of sparrows, chaffinches and starlings to your gardens.
1. CREATE A GARDEN THAT BIRDS CAN ENJOY AND FEEL SAFE IN
2. MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS CLEAN WATER AVAILABLE
3. FEED THE BIRDS ALL YEAR ROUND
4. NEST BOXES
5. KEEP BIRD FEEDERS AND BATHS CLEAN
6. LEAVE OUT A FAT BALL FOR BIRDS TO ENJOY
