Welcome to Bird Barn
Bring local birds to your garden for a visit as I assist you on what boxes, feeders, baths or tables use, all while welcoming song birds to feed, nest or bathe.
How to keep squirrels off bird table
Its not overly difficult to keep squirrels off bird tables but it needs a bit of common sense; keep the table isolated while mounting a baffle to the stand.
Robin nest box hole size
No need to get the robin nest box hole size on point as there's not really one; I prefer a minimum hole size of 100mm tall to a 300mm entrance hole width.
Do Nuthatches use nest boxes
Nuthatches do use bird boxes in any style or size, but a 32mm entrance hole is required with a very specific area needed to site the bird box up a tree.
How to dismantle a bird feeder
How to dismantle a bird feeder of any kind would be to refer to the manufacturer's advice; thankfully all bird feeders are disassembled near the same.
Blackbird nest box size guide
Considering Blackbirds are larger common garden birds, I would use a larger bird box rather than build or buy one that uses the minimum box size only.
Do birds eat from feeders at night
Birds don't use feeders at night simply because they can't see; being diurnal, all garden birds become blind under low lighting, so are unable to feed.
RSPB bird box hole sizes
RSPB cater to as many wild birds in the UK with a single bird box; offering a 32mm bird box hole size with fewer hole sizes for use with rarer nesting birds.
How to feed dried mealworms to birds
How to feed dried mealworms to our garden birds can include throwing a handful over the ground, add to bird table or use a mesh tray to hang or mount.
What happens if I stop feeding birds
You could have good reasons to stop feeding birds, but to do so not much can happen; but to do it in severe weather conditions can have consequence.
Can you put mealworms in a bird feeder
You can put mealworms in a bird feeder providing they can't get stuck; use a specialty bird feeder or chop them up to fit in a regular seed or peanut feeder.
