FEED THE BIRDS

The winter months can be extremely difficult for birds and other wildlife.

Food and water are scarce and low temperatures can be dangerous for birds that can’t find shelter.  So birds often flock together for shelter, warmth, protection and to increase their chances of finding food. 

Leaving out different types of foods for different species of birds will really help conserve birds in the UK over the colder months.  This handy guide gives you some ideas on which foods attract different birds and includes a step by step guide to make your own apple feeders. A great activity to get young children and others involved in conservation at home.
