• WHAT FOOD to feed garden birds :  if you want more diversity in your garden offer more vairety in food. ( See further below for more info on food ). In general its good to start with peanuts and sunflower hearts, they are both eaten by variety of species and have high protein and calorie contents
• WHEN TO FEED as has been stated already above its good to feed birds all year round especially around spring breeding season and cold winter months are MUST. During these months natural sourses are depleted, small birds used lots of their energy to stay warm and shorter days means less time to find food for themselves. During breeding season food given to them in the garden is eaten by adult birds and that gives them more time and energy to source protein rich food for their offsprings.
• WHERE TO  put out feeders in the garden. In general its good to place them somewhere near a bush or small tree, birds  can use this as a look-out point to make sure it is safe. And if there is such a spot near house that is idela. There is no need to hide them in the corner of the garden, birds will happilly visit feeders close to house, so you can enjoy watching them comfortably from your kitchen or living room. 
• HOW TO LOOK AFTER FEEDERS Regularly clean your feeders to prevent spreading any diseases and build up toxins. Remove any stale food and wash with warm water and mild disinfectant and leave to dry thoroughly and to do so every 1-2 weeks. 

  It’s also worthwhile to switch the location of your feeders from time to time, so that there isn’t a build of droppings in any one location, and to spread your feeders around the garden so birds aren’t all coming together at one location.

  Though most of the bacteria and parasites that might affect birds have little impact on humans, it’s important to wash your hands properly after touching and cleaning your feeders – just to be sure!

• WHAT NOT TO DO  most garden birds are not able to process SALT and will die if they eat too much. So don't feed them salted peanuts, chips, salty bacon or crisps

• WHAT YOU SHOULDN'T FORGET Don't forget to put out water fot birds not only for drinking but bathing too. Water is just as important as food it will help to safe their energy which they would use otherwise in search of food. They will also spend more time in your garden and you would be able to observe them for longer.

PEANUTS :One of the most popular bird foods, and for good reason. They have a high calorie content (behind only sunflower hearts), are high in protein and they have no shell that birds need to wrestle off. Perfect if you want to avoid spillage and waste too. Be sure to hang them in an appropriate mesh feeder, and don’t use plastic netting bags. Take care to ensure no mouldy or shrivelled peanuts are in your feeders as these can produce aflatoxins which can kill birds. To avoid this, store them in a dry area and half-fill your peanut feeders at a time, allowing them to empty before refilling.

SUNFLOWER SEEDS :Sunflower seeds come in different forms – with striped shell, black shell or no shell (‘hearts’). Striped shelled sunflower seeds have a tough outer shell that’s difficult for birds to remove and they have a lower calorie content than the other varieties. Black sunflower seeds have higher oil and calorie content and a thinner shell too. Sunflower hearts are the best of the lot though as they have more oils and calories than the others, and no shell – so the birds waste no energy when eating them. They’re a bit more expensive as a result, but worth the money Tom Chambers Scrummy Sunflower Hearts are a husk free, no mess source of bird food. Packed with calories and essential oils.
