We want to feed birds through
winter, but we may be making some mistakes in our methods. The RSPB offers 3 tips
on what not to do.
We all know we need to keep bird feeders and baths topped up
over the winter months to ensure our winged friends weather the storm of
winter.
But there are some things we shouldn't be doing, which can
risk a bird's health, and in some cases lead to death. Here's the RSPB's advice
on what not to do.
1. Don't put out fat balls in netting Fat balls may be a
great energy source for birds, but not when they're housed in nylon netting,
which is often used for easy hanging but can end up trapping birds' feet or
beaks, leading to injury or even death. If you buy fat balls, remove them from
any nets and put them in a safer, bespoke hanging feeder. or leave them loose
on a bird table.
