We have many birds in our garden as we are semi rural and they seem to look for food and don't find any. Instead of my coffee on the way to work I put the money away and get RSPB Buggy Coconut Shell Treats each week in a pack of twenty.
They love them, and my children love to watch so many birds. The best part which we love to see is the parents feeding their little ones, they sit there with their beak open ready. The only downside is the noise they make as there are so many, and I worry about the neighbours, I just make sure I put them out after midday, and also I like them to look for food first, this is a backup. It used to be only in winter, but RSPB say now food is scarcer for them and it's good to put supplemental food out.
I do also put out bird seed and water but they all flock to the coconut shells. I hang them in the trees, although I had to move them away from the trampoline as I was forever cleaning it.
