How to Prepare Your Garden Birds for Winter

As the cold months arrive, small garden birds need extra help finding food and staying warm. Here’s how you can make your garden a safe haven this winter:

1. Stock Up on High-Energy Feed

Offer calorie-rich foods like suet balls, sunflower hearts, and peanuts. These give birds the energy they need to survive frosty nights.

2. Keep Feeders Clean and Topped Up

Winter days are short - hungry birds rely on a regular supply. Clean feeders often to prevent disease and keep the food fresh.

3. Provide Fresh Water

Birds still need to drink and bathe, even in winter. Check daily for frozen bird baths and break any ice.

4. Add Shelter

Hedges, dense shrubs, or nesting boxes help birds stay safe from wind, rain, and predators.

Help your garden birds thrive this winter - they’ll reward you with visits every day!
