๐จ Attention, Garden Lovers! ๐จ As February’s chilly weather sets in, renowned gardening guru Monty Don has a crucial tip for us: keep feeding our feathered friends! ๐ฆ๐


With native bird species declining in the UK, Monty emphasises the importance of providing a daily supply of nutritious food. Birds not only add life to our gardens, but during these harsh winter months, they need our help to stay healthy and thrive. ๐ฟ

Wondering what to feed them? Monty recommends offering a mix of seeds, nuts, and fats. These energy-packed goodies are essential for keeping birds warm and active, especially as they prepare to mate, nest, and lay eggs. And donโt forget fresh drinking and bathing water! ๐ฐ๐ฅ
But hereโs a tip: avoid grains. They can attract unwanted garden guests like pigeons, sparrows, squirrels, and even rats. Stick to high-energy foods to keep your gardenโs bird community happy and healthy. ๐ฆ๐ซ
Join Monty in this simple yet impactful mission. By consistently providing food and water, you transform your garden into a trust spot for our winged pals, supporting their survival and enriching your outdoor space with their vibrant presence. ๐
Let’s make a difference this February by nurturing our local wildlife. Your small daily act of kindness can have a massive impact on their wellbeing and bring so much joy to your garden. Happy bird feeding! ๐ท๐๏ธ
