Bird Feeder
8 Answers
I bought two bird feeders for the garden and the birds seem to have taken to them. However, there are seeds all over the ground - is this because the feeders are a rubbish design or are the birds doing this on purpose for some reason? Thanks

always quiet in early autumn as most of the small birds move out to the countryside as it gets colder they should be back
We have a fair sized garden but it is in a city we get loads of birds including woodpeckers, nuthatches, tits, finches and starlings....but then at last count we had 13 feeders of various types three bird baths and two ponds as well as a lawn and beds full of plants chosen for their wildlife value
Paved garden...get some big pots and plant berrying bushes, cotoneasters are good...they will also provide safe perches for birds to move too and from the feeders
