Warning Issued Over Potentially Deadly Bird Feeder Mistake In UK Gardens

We all want to help out our feathered friends – especially in these biting winter months when their food is more scarce than usual.

But there’s one garden mistake many of us might be making that could unintentionally cause harm to the British bird population.

According to wildlife expert Kate Macrae, known to millions as Wildlife Kate, we mustn’t forget about bird feeder hygiene.

“There are many diseases that can be passed around dirty feeders, causing death to species that we actually wanted to help,” she says.
