How Contact Works

From garden question to useful advice

A few details help us give guidance suited to your birds and outdoor space.

01

Describe your garden

Tell us which birds visit, where your feeders sit, and what food you are using. Mention your county if weather or local timing may affect the advice.

02

Add the useful details

Photographs can help with bird identification, feeder placement and nest-box issues. Let us know if you have noticed illness, bullying, predators or uneaten food.

03

Receive practical guidance

We will suggest sensible next steps based on British garden bird behaviour and welfare guidance. Advice may cover hygiene, suitable feed, seasonal feeding or safer positioning.

Our Approach

What guides every reply

Our recommendations reflect careful garden observation and respect for the birds using your space.

🐦

Bird welfare first

We favour advice that supports healthy feeding habits and safer garden conditions. Sick or injured bird concerns are directed towards appropriate wildlife support where needed.

🌿

Guidance for British gardens

Robins, blue tits, goldfinches, blackbirds and sparrows each behave differently around food and shelter. Our replies account for seasonal changes across England.

🧼

Clean feeding routines

Dirty feeders can contribute to the spread of disease between birds. We explain practical cleaning routines and signs that feeding should be paused.

🏠

Thoughtful nest-box advice

Nest-box placement depends on direction, height, cover and the species you hope to support. We help you avoid common placement mistakes that disturb nesting birds.
