Wild birds need feeding

I have a hanging basket tree I use the my plants. This year I decided to take off the baskets and leave the tree standing. Then I had another brilliant idea. I would replace the hanging baskets with bird feeds including a fat ball containter and half a coconut. And the birds loved it!

Therefore, I suggest you do the same. There is plenty of wild bird food about and it isn't expensive if you buy it loose. Also lots of garden centres offer fat balls in large containers. The birds are very grateful for the food especially as the forecast for the weekend is more snow and freezing temperatures.

And don;t forget fresh water especially when it freezes over. I keep a couple of dishes inside and when frozen over I just replace the frozen ones with fresh ones.

You get a lot of pleasure seeing various birds appearing in your garden on a regular basis.
