Thank you for such an informative post. It is interesting how one can come up with such an alternative for bird feeders. However, I personally think that it is still easier to acquire a bird feeder if you are planning to attract the birds and feed them easily. During the winter season, it is advisable that you use Black Oil Sunflower seeds as the bird food, since they are thinner and easier to crack.

Bird houses and feeders, along with two bird baths, are how my husband and I draw the various species of bird in our regoin to our backyard. We started with a bird bath and a feeder, then we began placing more feeders and some bird houses in our backyard. Added another bird bath last spring to the yard because of all the birds visiting and living in our yard. They’re so fun to watch and they add great color to the yard, they’re like living decor.

In the UK we are experiencing freezing weather which is a potential death sentence for many birds, but with just a little water,
food and shelter, gardens can become a vital haven for birds and other wildlife.

Put out food regularly, specially in severe weather.

Feed twice daily if possible in the morning ad early afternoon before it gets dark

Introduce a bird table and high calorie seed mixes .this can also be used to put out kitchen scraps such as fat and suet, mild grated cheese, cooked potatoes , pastry and soaked fruit.

Put out hanging feeders for black sunflower seeds, sunflower hearts, sunflower-rich mixes or unsalted high fat peanuts.

Ensure a supply of fresh water every day. If it is very cold use tepid water, but it is vital NOT to use any antifreeze products, which can be poisonous

Put out unwanted apples and pears for blackbirds, song thrushes and other members of the thrush family.

Bird cake and food bars are very good because of their high-fat content. are also high in oils. You can also feed kitchen scraps, such as fat and suet, mild grated cheese, cooked potatoes, pastry and dried fruit. Food bars of fat hung up or rubbed into the bark of trees is a great help for treecreepers, goldcrests and many other species.

Put up a nest box to provide roost sites for smaller birds. They will then be used for breeding later in the year.

Good luck
