Have birds just stopped coming to your bird table or are you trying to attract them for the first time.

Have you just recently changed your bird food that you put out?

Someone suggested that in winter birds leave gardens that are open to the elements and go for sheltered gardens. This is not true in my garden, because it is very open to the elements but I still get lots of birds.

Mmmm. If some of our food is genetically modified then could seed grown and used as bird food be genetically modified. I don’t know, but it is an interesting question.

Am putting the information on again – don’t know what has gone wrong

One of the feed I use is Guardman no mess seed mix and I buy a large bag, but they do sell smaller bags.

Why not stop putting out mealworms, thistle seeds, peanuts and ground peanuts.

Try fatballs, cut up cheese and apple, a good mixed bird food, sunflower seeds always go down well in winter. Buy a small bag of robin and songbird mix and see if that attracts any smaller birds.

You could buy a small bag of ground feed bird food – this attracts the soft bill birds such as blackbirds and thrushes.

Let me know how you come on. Please also let me know if you did receive my earlier notes that I sent

So you have a lot of different birds nearby. Do you know what type of bird they are? Are they sparrows, blackbirds, robins. Can you tell?

Where do you get your bird food from? do they sell different types of bird food?

As well as bird food I put out cut up cheese, cut up apple, bread soaked in water, old cake. You could try putting out kitchen scraps and see if birds come to your garden

Seagulls aren’t predators, but they can eat a lot of bird food.

Will be in touch about different bird food when I have put some info together. Cheers. Trisha.
PS thanks for caring about these wild birds. x
