How to Transform Your Garden Into a Paradise for Birds!

Now is a great time to make your garden a place for birds to enjoy. In this video I show you 4 tips for making your garden more bird friendly.

ALAN IS USING:

Pot and Saucer for bird bath from Blue Diamond Centres - https://rb.gy/0ehb4p
Tools from Spear and Jackson - https://rb.gy/6wl4lh
Hose from Gardena - https://rb.gy/ud9afv
Bird food from Fothergills - https://rb.gy/rvkrp6

In this video I show you how to:

1. Place bird boxes- make sure they are out of reach of cats and in a sheltered space. They need to be robust as in spring birds may use them for new chicks.

2. Put up bird feeders - in autumn and winter birds have less food than normal so will really benefit from an additional supply.

3. Plant bird friendly plants - plant at least one of the following to provide food or shelter for your feathered friends;

Cotoneaster Horizontalis, Pyraccantha and Callicarpa are shrubs that provide berries for birds
Holly and Berberis provide thorns for nesting
The Crab apple ‘golden hornet’ and the cherry tree
Prunus Autumnalis Rosea are great trees for providing fruit for birds

4. Build a Bird Bath - Birds need water and somewhere for cleaning themselves. Here’s a simple way to create a bird bath on a budget. Just attach a garden pot to a saucer using silicon, add pebbles for smaller birds and fill with water.
