🍎🌿 Want more robins in your garden this November? It’s surprisingly simple! Just add apple slices to your bird feeders. Known for their festive charm, robins associate well with Christmas, but they need our help as winter approaches.
Robins are drawn to fruit in the chillier months when insects are scarce. By providing small, fresh pieces of apple, you create a welcoming spot for them in your garden. Robins aren’t just about redbreasts at Christmastime; they’re also about keeping wildlife well-fed and happy during the winter.
Make sure the fruit stays fresh, avoiding anything mouldy, and if you’re low on apples, there are other treats you can offer! Dried fruits like raisins, and even finely chopped pears or peanuts are perfect alternatives.
As winter rolls in and natural food supplies shrink, these delightful birds will come seeking sustenance. Bonus tip: installing a heated bird bath will also attract robins as they’re on the lookout for fresh water, staying warm in the colder months.
So, next time you’re in the garden centre or rummaging through your kitchen, think of our feathered friends and toss some apple their way. Watch as your garden turns festive with visits from these charming creatures! 🐦🍏
Enjoy birdwatching this season and help make your garden a little winter wonderland for robins! 🏡✨
