Locate bird tables near cover so that they're easily accessible, but not too close if there is a risk of predators. With food resources scarce now, it is essential to feed garden birds all year round. Put out food at the start of the day to ensure that birds can replace the energy they have lost overnight. Locate feeders near cover, so that the birds have a safe place to retreat to that is away from predators. Always provide fresh, clean water.

Always ensure wild birds have plenty of fresh, clean water for drinking and bathing. Clean feeding and drinking areas regularly with a mild disinfectant. Keep food fresh and dry, removing any wet food to prevent the spread of bacteria and diseases. Keep packaging away from children to avoid suffocation. Store food in a cool dry place away from pets or pests. Best used within 3 months of opening. Bird food is not suitable for human consumption and bird food may contain nuts.
