The Garden Bird Feeding Year

 Winter: November - March

Fat: all the fats that are so bad for humans - the fat you pour out of the roasting and the grill pans; also suet and lard. These are 'high energy' foods that help birds build up and maintain the reserves they need for the cold weather.
Seeds:
Peanuts
Black sunflower seeds
Sunflower hearts
Nyjer seeds
Millet
Flaked maize
Pinhead oatmeal

(Make up mixes of fat and seeds in small
ceramic dishes to put on the birdtable)

Bread
Cooked potatoes.
Cooked rice.
Currants, raisins and sultanas
Fruit - half eaten or bruised too.
Grated cheese.
Mealworms

                Summer: April - October

             High protein foods for while birds are mating, nest building,
             incubating, feeding chicks and also moulting and
             preparing to migrate:  

             Black sunflower seeds
             Pinhead oatmeal
             Water soaked currants, sultanas & raisins
             Grated cheese
             Mealworms
             Waxworms
             Fruit
             Seed mixes without peanuts
             Peanuts should only be fed in feeders with small mesh, so 
             birds cannot take whole nuts on which their young would 
             choke.
