Starlings on the bird table
Food waste and declining bird populations have been in the news this year. So why not help both situations by feeding some of your Christmas leftovers to the birds?
I usually make bird cake in the winter, as it’s a great way of combining different foods into a high fat meal for the birds.
In this show I talk about which leftovers you can feed to the birds, and which should be avoided. There’s more information on feeding the birds this Christmas available from the RSPB. And I come up with the slogan “Stodge for the Birds this Christmas”!
If you want to buy your garden birds a present then take a look at the Christmas Dinner Kit from Garden Bird Supplies. But you’ll have to order before midnight on 21st December to ensure delivery in time for Christmas.
And to wrap up the show there’s a story from GreenPrints Magazine.
