Creating a bird-friendly environment in your garden is a rewarding way to support local wildlife and enjoy the beauty of British birds. One of the best ways to attract and nourish these birds is by using suet blocks. Suet blocks are rich in energy and nutrients, making them an excellent choice for bird feeders, especially when tailored to the seasonal needs of birds. Eco Bird Food offers high-quality suet blocks that change with the seasons to provide optimal nutrition year-round. Let’s delve into how to create an inviting space for birds and why Eco Bird Food’s summer suet is an ideal choice.
How to Create a Bird-Friendly Environment with Suet Blocks as a Key Attraction
Understanding Suet Blocks and Their Benefits
Suet blocks are a type of bird food, made from beef fat mixed with nutritious ingredients. Have a look at the ingredients on your suet blocks to determine their quality. If the main ingredient is flour, that’s a problem as it’s of little nutritional value to birds. Birds will scatter flour on the floor which attracts vermin. High quality suet, made with great ingredients, is particularly beneficial during the colder months when birds need extra energy to stay warm. With a simple, specifically designed square suet block holder, and good quality suet, you’ll attract a wide variety of species. If wildlife that you don’t want to attract is eating all your bird food consider a squirrel proof feeder. These can also be useful to prevent corvids and pigeons scaring off song birds.

Steps to Create a Bird-Friendly Environment
1.Provide a Variety of Feeders
Different birds have different feeding habits. Include a mix of feeders, such as hanging suet block feeders, seed feeders, and ground trays.
2.Offer Fresh Water
Birds need water for drinking and bathing. Provide a shallow bird bath and change the water regularly to keep it fresh and clean. This will attract more birds and support their hydration needs.
3.Plant Native Vegetation
Native plants provide natural food sources and shelter. Include a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowering plants that produce berries, seeds, and nectar. This will create a more natural and inviting habitat for birds.
4.Ensure Seasonal Nutrition
Birds’ nutritional needs change with the seasons. Eco Bird Food offers suet blocks that are formulated to provide the right balance of nutrients at the right time.
5.Maintain Clean Feeding Areas
Regularly clean your feeders and bird baths to prevent the spread of diseases. Remove any uneaten food and sanitize feeders to ensure a healthy environment for your feathered friends.
