Below, we share some garden-bird-friendly Christmas dinner ideas and tips on what to feed your garden birds from your leftovers alongside their nutritious bird food. And we also talk about some Christmas dinner foods you shouldnt be offering them.
What you can feed birds from your Christmas dinner leftovers
A common misconception is that since birds consume many of the same foods as humans, such as nuts, fruit, seeds, and grains, most of our leftover food is also appropriate for them. However, bird diets and beaks are very different from ours. You should therefore exercise caution when deciding what to put out for them.
Additionally, stay away from cured meats, chips, cakes, bread, and pigs in blankets because they typically contain processed, high-fat foods that are bad for birds. Cooked meats can also attract vermin, so best averted. Bread lacks vital nutrients and will cause your bird’s stomach to swell.
Additionally, crumbled or grated mild low-salt cheese can provide your birds with vital energy. Blackbirds, song thrushes, robins, and dunnocks all love cheese.
It is a good idea to abide by the general rule that foods that are unhealthy for humans are also probably unhealthy for wild birds.
Cold roast potatoes are another great source of fat. To serve, simply chop into peck size pieces and add to your ground feeder or bird table.
We are unable to feed Salted Nuts: Birds’ nervous systems can be harmed by excessive salt intake, which they cannot process.
