While birds like pigeons and doves will readily eat any bird food given to them, more specialist feeders like Robins prefer small grubs such as mealworms. You can buy bird food from various outlets that have large stocks of bird food available in various weights depending on your requirement. Guides to feeding garden birds can be researched online or from various gardening bird books that give details about wild bird feeding habits. The autumn season can attract a large number of wild birds to your garden with the right food including siskins, goldfinches, great tits, blue tits, wrens, woodpeckers and many more. Each one of them has a different feeding habit and accordingly people can make use of different bird feeders and feeding locations within their garden to encourage them. ‘

I always get rid of their nests if they are up close to my house. Birds know how to defend themselves against wasps. I’ve heard that lots of birds eat wasps! I think once the wasps know that their nests will be taken down anywhere in your territory, they will move back into different areas. Stand your ground!

I’m wondering, what do people do to keep wasps out of their containers, birdhouses, and such? That’s a problem in my area.

I have that copper teakettle, and would have a hard time poking holes in it like that. Much prefer the blue teakettle birdhouse, made without any apparent damage. If I had the lid, I would affix it to the top end of the handle, creating shade for the occupants. Blue glass and those wonderful insulators are always welcome in my garden. Thanks to all who contributed. Happy gardening!

Great ideas here, Stephie! Love those old aqua colored insulators sitting in Sue Langley’s birdbath! …and the birds give back so much pleasure!! Thanks, Stephie!
