My
Bird Garden is the UK's leading wildlfe gardening
website. Whether you are interested in attracting robins,
goldfinches, sparrows, swallows or woodpeckers, we will show you how to
design
your bird garden, which plants to choose to attract birds and garden
wildlife and to
provide food and nesting materials for garden birds.
Bird garden design includes the garden layout, the materials
chosen, garden plants for birds and the creation of wildlife
habitats. We will show you how to create a bird garden in
the town or countryside. You can even create wonderful
wildlife habitats for birds on balconies and roof gardens!!
My Bird garden aims to help you through the entire process of
creating a wildlife garden for birds, from design to
implementation.
Our wildlife garden directory will show you where you can buy wildlife
friendly materials, plants to attract wildlife and where to buy the
best birds boxes, bird tables and bird baths.
In addition we will be regularly reviewing birds and wildlife garden
books and
suggesting which bird gardens to visit for inspiration.
Birds
in your wildlife garden
Bird
gardens will need to include berries and food for birds. You
can
encourage birds to make nests in your wildlife garden by putting up
bird boxes and by providing bird nesting materials such as lambswool
for them to line their nests.
Feeding garden birds
Over the
winter months when food is scarce, birds will appreciate feeding on a
bird table or with a bird feeder. Often the problem is
feeding
the birds without the squirels stealing all the food but there are some
clever bird feeders that are squirrel proof such as the birdball bird
feeder
If you grow sunflowers in your wildlife garden, don't
forget to save the seedheads. Garden birds will love to eat
these
sunflower seeds.
Birds will also appreciate fat balls, which you can make yourself.
Bird
garden plant choices for berries and nesting materials
There
are lots of plants to choose from for your bird garden planting
scheme. Holly is a good plant for a bird friendly
planting
scheme as it provides excellent protection for nesting birds, and the
berries provide food throughout the winter. Other good bird
plants with berries include euonymus, viburnum opulus, rosehips, ivy
and hawthorn.
