If you are like me then you surely enjoy spending your spring mornings and evenings outdoors, enjoying the cool touch of wind on a sunny day while reading a few pages from your favourite novel and listening to birds singing. To be honest, birdsong always make me aware of the beauty of the warm seasons and of the various colours that they paint with. Given my love for the comfort that only a garden can provide, I made it my duty to create the perfect atmosphere. First thing I did was look for slate bird tables but after I saw the painted bird tables, my choice was made for me. What is their appeal?
Their obvious appeal is that they brighten the place although, given the season when you are most likely to enjoy your garden, that shouldn’t matter all that much. But when you try to picture how those painted bird tables would complement your garden, slate bird tables will become obsolete in your mind. Not for lack of functionality, as there is not much difference, but more for decorative reasons.
Its purpose may be practical but after the birds are gone and the songs have met their silence, the bird table will still be, on itself. So, before you commit to either the practical or the decorative aspect, you might want to visualize it with and without the birds.
If you like feeding birds in your backyard you should definitely pick a bird table that will encourage birds to come back to you again and again to enjoy the food you put provide. Contrary to popular beliefs, bird tables are popular during winter since natural food is hard to come by so be sure to provide them with food with a high fat content so as to make sure that they survive the cold season.
Make sure that the one you choose is big enough as the small birds prefer different feeding methods and the bird tables usually attract pigeons, doves or robins. If you prefer to feed smaller ones make sure that the roof makes it harder on the big ones to steal the food from the smaller birds.
What should you feed them? You can give them cut up apples, grated cheese, raisins, bread crumbs and berries and in the in winter season, you can feed them chopped up peanuts. As they have a high fat content and it will give them better odds of survival during the cold season.
