If you have a bird box in your garden then experts warn that you need to make sure you're filling them correctly in time for this important part of a bird's life cycle
An urgent warning for bird box owners in March highlights the importance of proper care during nesting season. Birds face challenges finding food due to cold weather, so providing fresh, high-energy foods like seed mixes, suet, and peanuts (unsalted) is crucial. Kitchen scraps such as cheese, pastry, and meat fats can also be beneficial. It's essential to maintain clean feeders and avoid mouldy food to prevent diseases like salmonella and trichomonosis. Ensuring a fresh and varied diet helps support birds during this critical period.
