As spring arrives in Ireland, gardeners are encouraged to support nesting birds by offering boiled potatoes and other energy-rich foods like seeds, pasta and rice to help them thrive during this crucial season.
Spring has finally arrived in Ireland, bringing longer days, brighter weather and the perfect opportunity for households to start tending to their gardens. It's also a crucial season for birds, as they begin nesting, breeding and feeding their young.
According to the UK's RSPCA, several kitchen scraps can be safely left on bird tables, including boiled potatoes, cooked pasta, cooked rice, cheese and uncooked bacon rind. These foods are all rich in calories and energy, which will support nesting birds. The RSPB encourages feeding birds in spring, particularly high-protein foods during moulting season, Express reports. However, it warns that certain foods, such as peanuts, fat and bread, should be handled with care.
