Feeding your garden birds



















We often hear people saying that birds don’t need feeding in summer. Ornithological experts however tell us that this claim is wrong. They advise:

‘In winter, supplementary food is often the only option for birds as natural food sources like berries get buried under snow and ice and insects are few and far between. But in summer birds will still be grateful for extra treats, as many are busy raising their young. The RSPB recommends little and often, and says that birds probably won’t eat quite as much as during the colder months.’

Below are just a few of the bird species that may be seen in the Southport region.


















In summer, busy parent birds need lots of food items to feed their hungry chicks.




Good bird foods recommended by experts include: 

Black sunflower seeds
Sunflower hearts
Seed mixes
Peanuts
Nyger
Mealworms





Disturb birds nesting at your own risk 

If you are found to be disturbing a bird nesting site, you could end up with an unlimited fine or even six months in prison. Therefore, we should always prune hedges outside the nesting season to avoid this risk
