ALAN IS USING: Bird friendly Plants from Blue Diamond Centres - https://rb.gy/0ehb4p Pot and Saucer for bird bath from Blue Diamond Centres - https://rb.gy/0ehb4p Tools from Spear and Jackson - https://rb.gy/6wl4lh Hose from Gardena - https://rb.gy/ud9afv Bird food from Fothergills - https://rb.gy/rvkrp6 Outdoor dining set and bench from Forest Garden - https://rb.gy/0ihsne In this video I show you how to: 1. Place bird boxes- make sure they are out of reach of cats and in a sheltered space. They need to be robust as in spring birds may use them for new chicks. 2. Put up bird feeders - in autumn and winter birds have less food than normal so will really benefit from an additional supply. 3. Plant bird friendly plants - plant at least one of the following to provide food or shelter for your feathered friends; - Cotoneaster Horizontalis, Pyraccantha and Callicarpa are shrubs that provide berries for birds - Holly and Berberis provide thorns for nesting - The Crab apple ‘golden hornet’ and the cherry tree - Prunus Autumnalis Rosea are great trees for providing fruit for birds 4. Build a Bird Bath - Birds need water and somewhere for cleaning themselves. Here’s a simple way to create a bird bath on a budget. Just attach a garden pot to a saucer using silicon, add pebbles for smaller birds and fill with water. My name’s Alan Titchmarsh, and I’m absolutely delighted to welcome you to my YouTube channel!
