Supporting Garden Birds

Live Q&A

Join us live for a friendly Q&A to find out how to feed garden birds safely and support them naturally.

Tuesday 12th May at 7.30pm (UK time)

Price: Pay what you can

Learn how to help your garden birds

The RSPB recently released important new guidelines on safely feeding garden birds, and it may have left you feeling unsure about the right thing to do, or concerned that you will no longer be able to enjoy the birds in the garden.

We are hosting this live 'pay what you can' Q&A to reassure you that you absolutely can continue to enjoy the birds in your garden! Our team of experts will answer all your questions and show you how to support your garden birds in a safe and more natural way.

You'll learn:

- The dos and don'ts of supplementary bird feeding

- What to plant to provide natural food for birds like seeds and berries

- How to identify which plants you already have that could support birds if left to go to seed

- How to provide for invertebrates to support birds and their chicks
