Protecting our garden birds is about more than just what we feed them, it’s about how we do it! 🌿🐦
The latest RSPB guidelines for 2026 highlight a crucial shift: to help stop the spread of diseases like trichomonosis, the RSPB is now advising bird lovers to feed safely and seasonally. This means prioritising high-protein options like suet and mealworms in summer months ☀
More importantly, hygiene is now the top priority. 🧽🪣 To keep your feathered friends healthy, a weekly deep clean of all feeding equipment is essential.
Pop into our Pet & Wildlife Department to find everything you need to keep your feeders clean:
🐦 Feeder cleaning sprays: Specialist, bird-safe disinfectants that clean bacteria without harmful residues.
🐦⬛ Feeder brushes: Long-handled, flexible brushes designed to reach every nook and cranny of your tube feeders.
🕊️ Slow-release water bottles: Easy-to-clean water bottles that provide a constant supply of clean water while preventing the contamination often found in open bird baths.
Let`s work together to look after our local wildlife!
