??? i didnt think birds ate aphids - arent they a bit too small for
their
liking?

As far as I'm concerned the only way to deal with aphids is to have
Wrens in your garden. My Wrens spend a lot of time in spring
patrolling the roses and they eat all aphids. I never, ever spray and
they are so very interesting to watch.

I'd prefer a more biofriendly/natural
solution tho

Read up on how to encourage birds into your garden but till you give
up on chemicals they tend not to stay round.
