Birds feeders Warwickshire to support local birds
According to the RSPB, the local bird population in Warwickshire have changed over the past 10 years or so. Climate change, pollution, rapid urbanisation of previously rural or semi-rural areas, and the increasing presence of predators in their habitat – such as cats, and more importantly cats that are let to roam free during the day – have affected some of the most celebrated bird species in the county. Indeed, enthusiastic bird watchers have been alarmed to realise that bird species are down and still decreasing in number:
Greenfinch
Song thrushes
Chaffinches
Collared doves
Dunnocks
Starlings
Blackbird

Advantages of bird feeders
For avid gardeners who love nothing more than being close to nature, the addition of bird feeders in your garden can enhance your experience of the local wildlife. It is especially beneficial to people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to experience nature fully. Inviting wild animals to your garden allows you to observe safely without disturbing the bird populations.
In winter especially, birds feeders Warwickshire provide food to the bird populations that don’t migrate. With the shortage of food sources during the cold months, birds rely on feeders to survive.
Your bird feeders also help to grow the local population, as parent birds can use it as a reliable source of food to feed their chicks.
Considerations about your bird feeders Warwickshire
When you choose to install a bird feeder, you need to look for a safe and elevated position where birds will be out of the reach of predators, such as cats and foxes.
Not all bird feeders need to be weatherproof. However, keeping feeders out of wind blasts can make it more accessible to birds.
Don’t be tempted to place your bird feeders in the garden shed or underneath a covered patio, as it might be out of sight of birds. You need to make sure birds can spot the feeders easily and quickly.
Finally, you should keep your bird feeders Warwickshire full all year round. Birds can consume up to 10,000 calories a day so that feeders can supplement their dietary needs, even at the heart of summer!
