During the winter months, food sources for our wild birds start to fizzle out. Natural vegetation sources will have whittled away with the disappearance of autumn, and most insects will have reduced in numbers until the spring. With the steady loss of natural food sources over the years, birds have come to rely on supplimentary food provided by us in our gardens.
Although it is correct to assume that birds need help most throughout the harsh winter months, Britain's birds actually benefit from our garden supplementary food sources all year round. So if you would like to see more birds enjoy your garden, what a better time to start providing food then now!
The RSPB has many sources to help you learn more about feeding the birds in your garden, including what you should feed them. Whether you want to encourage certain bird species into your garden, or would just like to help boost the development of them all, the RSPB souces above are packed full of information to help you choose what food to provide. As a brief overview, see Preloved's guide to bird feed below!
