One of the most popular reasons for people to buy garden furniture, like the Supremo Tuscany range, is so that they can bird watch.
This is an activity that is more enjoyable when there’s a variety of them, but it can be tough for smaller birds to compete with larger ones for the food they need. So, how can you solve that problem for them?
A common issue that people with garden feeders are finding is that big birds, like pigeons or crows, often muscle the little ones out of the way for food. This is particularly prevalent in the winter months, because food sources are harder to find during that season.
Ultimately, the best way around it is to have feeders that are just for the little birds.
Some standard feeders just do not suit small birds, such as seed trays and ground feeders. That is because the open, unrestricted food access they offer draws the bigger birds, and the smaller ones are unable to compete with them. Good feeders for small birds require a few more restrictions.
Look for ones that come with small perching platforms or narrow food entrances. Both of those will make access harder for the larger sized birds and easy for the little ones.
It is also possible to get feeders that are created for individual small birds. One example is a quirky little feeder in the shape of a blue tit that is made just to attract and feed them. This can also add a decorative addition to any garden.
