Our gardens our becoming increasingly important places for wild animals and especially birds. By providing a regular supply of food and water, we can help birds survive the challenging winter months, when they can struggle to survive.
One way you can help is by combining pine cones, gathered from your garden, with a seed and fat mix, to make simple hanging feeders.
1
Attach a length of wire to each cone, winding it between the scales at the base.
2
Press the fat-and-seeds mixture between the scales so it covers each cone entirely.
3
Hang the finished cones from a branch in a secluded part of the garden.
