    So I said to myself, not a bad idea ... but since my house I would say that it is very probably smaller than that of my prof, I "adapted" (a term he would like very much) and I solved the problem ... even if in smaller quantity… I have built a small manger and a small nest for the birds that "live" or "transit" around my balconies...I would say that I did some sightings too ... small sparrows ... with very little effort (and as much expense ... since I love DIY, the nest and the manger are made by me) ...

    So here are some ideas that could be useful to you too! Here is the explanation on how to build them! How to do birdwatching… from home

Relatively then they will feed on half di but, hemp and chopped corn for finches, greenfinches, goldfinches, seeds of sunflower for finches, greenfinches, tits, woodpeckers, sweet crumbs for robins, tits, rulers, woodpeckers, finches, blackbirds, starlings, blackcaps, dried fruit for tit and woodpeckers, fresh fruit for blackbirds, thrushes, starlings, blackcaps, robins, blue tit .



    Finally it is very important to remember that once the distribution of food begins, it must continue throughout the winter and this must be a constant commitment that cannot be suspended since the life of those birds that daily frequent the manger are at stake!
