Turning your garden into a bird paradise? Here's how to do it
Nothing brings as much life to your garden as birdsong.
Make your outdoor space a place where garden birds will love to return. And the best part? You really don't need to be a nature expert to do it.
What do birds actually need?
Birds look for a place where they can eat, drink, shelter, and feel safe. Only when these elements come together will your garden or balcony become a regular stop for garden birds.
Build trust
Birds feel most at ease when they can quickly find shelter. Hedges, shrubs, climbing plants or even a few well-filled flower boxes on a balcony provide them with that safety. Dying flowers or a natural corner in the garden can also be left standing: they attract insects and offer extra shelter.
This is how your garden becomes their favourite stopover
A delicious buffet works wonders. For many garden birds, a reliable food source is the reason they return to the same garden time and time again. With the right seeds, suet balls, or fruits, you'll soon notice the same birds returning daily. Birds are creatures of habit and they won't forget a reliable food source.
Different bird species each have their own preferences, so a varied offering pays off. Place your bird feeder in a quiet spot, away from busy thoroughfares, and keep it clean. This way, birds will feel safe and will always find something tasty there again.
With the range of Garden Buffet easily cater to these different needs. From balanced seed mixes to energy-rich peanuts and nutritious mealworms, there's something tasty for every visitor. This way, your garden will soon become every bird's favourite party.
Even on a small balcony, you can welcome birds.
Do you think you need a large garden? Not at all. With a compact feeding station, a small water dish, and a few plants, you can also turn a balcony into an attractive stopover for garden birds.
For example, opt for shelled sunflower seeds or a no-mess mix. This way, the birds enjoy a tasty meal and your terrace stays tidy.
