February is a great month to feed the birds in your garden, but if you're often visited by blackbirds, dunnocks or robins, you could be feeding them incorrectly
Feeding is a fantastic way to attract birds to your garden, particularly in February when the weather remains chilly.
However, if you often see blackbirds, dunnocks or robins in your outdoor space, you might not be feeding them correctly. Especially during the colder months, birds can struggle to find enough nutrition due to increased competition from migratory species and reduced resources. It is vital to maintain cleanliness after laying out bird feed, as unhygienic conditions can spread diseases among birds. When using a flat feeder, wash it thoroughly with a disinfectant solution.
