Blue tits are birds that will add a bit of sparkle to any garden. Many other common UK garden birds – from blackbirds to sparrows – have quite muted plumage. By contrast, the blue tit comes with feathers that are a mix of blue, white, yellow and black, making them a glorious sight to gaze at from your Outback reclining chairs.
Read on to discover how can you bring these happy little birds to your garden.
Offer the correct food
It will help a lot if you are offering the right kind of food in your bird feeders. It is true that blue tits will eat most things, but that does not mean they have no preferences.
They are known to be especially fond of suet pellets and suet balls, so you should make those available if you are serious about attracting them.
It is not just the type of food that can count though – it is also the type of feeder. Blue tits tend to feed quite acrobatically, often hanging from the feeders upside down. The best way to accommodate that character quirk is by providing wire mesh feeders. These will give the tits plenty of options for striking a pose while they eat.
Build the right environment
A third great idea for attracting them is to set up a bird table in your garden. The blue tit is a very outgoing and sociable bird, so a table will allow them to mingle with other species. It is also a good place to spot predators from.
