Wild bird feeders and wild bird tables

You will want bird feeders and bird tables in a place where they can be seen and enjoyed from a view inside the house but obviously this will depend on the size and layout of the garden.

Bird feeders should idealy be at least 1.2metres off the ground which will help protect feeding birds from preying cats.

Cats are able to hide in shrubs and hedges so place bird feeders and bird tables away from them to protect the birds while feeding.

During the winter its is good to have the wooden bird tables in a position where they get direct sunlight. This helps keep them dry and prevents the build-up of green algae on the surfaces.
