Bird houses, feeders and food - which ones to buy?
"Char Kenny" wrote... Hello fellow bird-lovers! I have just moved from country Ireland to city England and am really disappointed by the lack of birds in my new garden. I am thinking about buying a bird house/feeder and some food. I visited the local garden centre and was overwhelmed by the amount of brands available. To me, it seems like a choice between buying Tesco cornflakes and Kelloggs cornflakes but I'm a newbie to this. Can any of you share your thoughts on which brand is best to get and which brand I should avoid. Can the birds really tell a difference? After a lot of trial and error we have found "Mayfield Premium" seed to be the best. A lot of places stock the Mayfield Standard seed but like most of the others it contains too much corn so ask them to order in some Premium for you. Check the price though. :-) We had the same problem when we moved here but now we get lots of birds, from Sparrows to Parakeets. You may find that there are not many trees and large shrubs around your area, it was the problem we had originally. Now trees have grown the bird situation has improved. -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |
