We are a resource of friendly free advice and this year if you’d like some help with what to feed the wild birds that visit your garden throughout the winter come and see us.

Feeding birds is vital to improve their survival rates during potentially harsh conditions.

Garden birds eat pests and keep the population of insects down, so it is crucial to look after our feathered friends to keep plants protected from these unwanted bugs.

Food and water need to be put out on a regular basis and in severe weather it’s a good idea to feed birds twice a day.

Birds require high energy, high fat foods during the cold winter weather to maintain their fat reserves so they can survive frosty nights.
