Feeding birds in the UK?

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has issued new guidance to avoid spreading disease.

✋ Simply put, pause feeding any seeds or peanuts between 1 May and 31 October.

🌻 Also consider bird-friendly planting to provide natural food sources, such as sunflowers, teasels, and ivy.

🚨 The cause of an outbreak of a mysterious and deadly disease in finches in British gardens in 2005 has finally been determined by conservationists.

The Swan Whisperer of Galway

If you’ve ever wandered down to the Claddagh in Galway, you’ll know the swans are less “graceful wild creatures” and more “assertive locals who know exactly when the bread’s coming out.”

That’s what happened on this day in 2005 when we visited and saw a young woman feeding those swans. Other birds wanted crumbs of bread too! Now we know that bread is not an ideal food for birds. Green vegetables are better for them.

Grit (supplement) (Pedology 🟤)

Grit is a material eaten by birds to aid in their diets and digestion. Wild birds find grit naturally while foraging, and farmers can purchase grit for their domestic fowl. There are two forms: soluble grit, which dissolves in a bird's digestive system and is often made of calcium; and insoluble grit, which remains in the gizzard and is usually composed of stone. G...

A new bird has visited us! Bluejays (I think - I'll check on Merlin in a bit).

Merlin says it is a Stellar's Jay!

I think they might be a pair? They certainly appreciated the peanut offerings.

And we thought raccoons were raiding the feeder. Nope, it was Peanut and her boyfriend. #birdfeeding #deer #WildLife #Gardening
