What is Bird Care? 

Bird care products are designed to help support the health, wellbeing and safety of wild birds visiting your garden. They include feeders, foods, bird baths, nesting products and accessories that help create a welcoming environment for birds throughout the year. 

Why is Bird Care important? 

Providing food, water and shelter can help support wild birds, particularly during periods when natural resources are limited. A bird-friendly garden can also encourage a wider variety of species to visit and thrive in your outdoor space. 

What Bird Care products are available? 

Bird care products may include bird feeders, bird food, bird tables, feeding stations, bird baths, nest boxes and cleaning accessories. These products help provide essential resources that support birds throughout the seasons. 

How can I attract more birds to my garden? 

Offering a reliable supply of food, fresh water and safe shelter can help attract more birds. Planting wildlife-friendly trees, shrubs and flowers can also encourage natural feeding opportunities and provide nesting habitats. 

Should I provide water for birds? 

Yes, fresh water is important for drinking and bathing. Providing clean water throughout the year can make your garden more attractive to birds and help support their wellbeing, particularly during dry weather and freezing conditions. 

What food should I provide for wild birds? 

Different bird species enjoy different foods, including seed mixes, sunflower hearts, peanuts, suet products and mealworms. Offering a variety of foods can help attract a broader range of garden birds. 

Can I feed birds all year round? 

Yes, birds can benefit from supplementary feeding throughout the year. Food is particularly valuable during winter when natural supplies are scarce and during spring when adult birds are feeding their young. 

How do I keep bird feeding areas clean? 

Regular cleaning helps maintain good hygiene and reduces the risk of disease. Bird feeders, bird tables and water containers should be cleaned frequently, with old food and debris removed before replenishing supplies. 

Are Bird Care products suitable for beginners?
