Feeding Tips
To encourage birds into your garden try the following tips.
- Hang bird feeders far enough off the ground and away from fences to discourage cats.
- Once you have started feeding the bird try to be consistent with filling feeding stations. The birds in and around your garden will come to rely on the food that you put out for them.
- Use a quiet area to feed the birds so that they are comfortable and relaxed.
- It is a good idea to always provide clean, fresh water.
- Cleaning feeders, bird tables, baths and water dishes regularly is a great way to maintain hygiene in the area. This will prevent infections and the spread of germs.
