Some simple advice on bird feeding
To print & pin on your notice board for reference:
The Garden Bird Feeding Year
Winter: November - March
Fat: Suet and lard. Fat is 'high energy' food which helps 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 or as granules,
so birds cannot take whole nuts on which their young would choke.
