Re: Feeding Birds in Back Garden HELP PLEASE

I've never found that the peanuts get much trade when there is ay alternative, so I've stopped using them now. A friend crushes them up and puts them on his bird table, where they do get eaten, But I just use a general table mix and that brings in the same range of birds.

The only thing I'd add to your menu would be sunflower seeds, as already suggested, as all the tits and finches like those.

And, if you are having starling trouble, I would stop putting out fat and suet until later in the year when it turns cold.
