The RSPB is urging people not to put the leftover contents of their Christmas dinner roasting tins outside for the birds.
Many people wrongly believe that cooked turkey fat is as beneficial to birds as lard and suet but it is dangerous for several reasons.
It remains soft even when cooled, meaning it could smear onto birds’ feathers and ruin their water-proofing and insulating qualities.
