FOR BIRDS

Birds enjoy foraging for seeds, which you can grow yourself. Mix some bird seed into the top centimetre of potting mix in a pot, keep it moist and the seeds will sprout. Let the plants grow and develop seed heads, then place the pot inside the cage for the birds to nibble on. Did you know that 10 to 20 per cent of a bird’s diet should also consist of fresh vegetables? Why not spruce up your garden with a vegie patch including leafy greens such as kale, spinach and silverbeet.
