Hygiene: Always ensure garden birds have plenty of fresh clean water for drinking and bathing. Clean feeding and drinking areas regularly with a mild disinfectant. Keep food fresh and dry, removing any wet food to prevent the spread of bacteria and diseases
Feeding advice: Site your feeder 2 metres from cover to make the feeder visible, whilst providing a safe place to retreat from predators. Put out food at the start of the day to ensure that birds can replace the energy they have lost overnight.
