BIRD FEEDING
Bird feeding gives us a unique opportunity for closer
contact with nature. It is a valuable and important way to
be reacquainted with all kinds of animals, regardless
of where we live. For many people, winter feeding is
one of their first contacts with nature and often encourages them to become involved in other nature
conservation activities. Children and young people
can experience and familiarize themselves with the
natural cycle of various creatures. And it has been shown
that feeding Birds has a positive effect on the health of the elderly
and the infirm. In all these ways winter feeding using our SCHWEGLER
feeders and foods makes an important contribution to improving everyone's
environmental awareness.
Please ensure you only use good quality food in well-designed feeders. One
important principle applies to all SCHWEGLER feeders: they are designed
to prevent Birds from leaving their droppings on the food. This reduces the
spread of the dangerous salmonella-type organism which is almost certainly
fatal to Birds.
Seed-eaters: Coal, Blue, Marsh, Great and Crested
Tits, Nuthatches, Chaffinches, Greenfinches and
Bramblings, Bullfinches, Siskins and possibly
Redpolls. These species prefer seeds such as
sunflower seeds and our Special Mix blend
(see page 62).
Soft food eaters: We also supply our Ground Feeder
for Birds such as Robins, Yellowhammers, Dunnocks,
Blackbirds, Wrens, possibly also Chaffinches and Bramblings.
Typical foods for these species include dried berries, sultanas, small
pieces of fruit and rolled oats.
Each time your feeder is refilled, check in it and around it for soiling. If necessary,
clean the feeding area using hot water. Tube feeders should always
be hung in a sheltered place to offer the Birds added safety from predators.
Notice: We check our food for ragweed seeds.
