It's spring time, and for your garden birdies that means one thing – chicks, and lots of them! Your garden birds will be super busy at the moment, and with the wonderful warm spring we've had most will be starting to think about their second brood. In the garden this weekend we've already had Greenfich, Goldfinch and Sparrow fledglings hopping around.
Live food at this time of year is a very welcome addition for those busy parents, Robins, Blackbirds and Sparrows are particularly partial to a mealworm or two. They're high in protein so make a great food source for those growing chicks. We get ours from CJ Wildlife – who not only stock live foods but a large range of seed mixes and nuts.
It can work out pretty expensive so we only really put them out at this time of year to give our feathered friends a helping hand. We'll then revert back to our normal feed which is a combination of kibbled sunflower hearts, peanuts and nyjer seed.
