Millions of Australian feed wild birds in their gardens. Yet there is currently very little information or advice on offer to tell them how to do this properly. This book provides the first readily available source of reliable information relevant to Australia. What’s more, it is written by an expert who feeds birds himself in his own suburban backyard. Including profiles on different types of Australian urban birds, what to feed them and what types of feeders to use, it also has tips on how to create a bird-friendly garden. Feeding the Birds at Your Table offers sensible and practical suggestions so feeding doesn’t only benefit us, but benefits the birds themselves. Packed with lists, tips and boxes for easy use, and featuring illustrations of some of the most common Australian birds, Feeding the Birds at Your Table tells you how to do just that - as responsibly as possible.
