RSPCA warns gardeners to 'stop' feeding birds common item

The RSPCA advises gardeners to stop feeding birds seeds or peanuts from May to October to reduce the risk of disease transmission among birds during this period when natural food sources are abundant. The organization recommends alternatives such as mealworms, fatballs, or suet, noting that finches are particularly susceptible to illness from these items. From November to April, seeds and peanuts can be offered again, provided feeders are cleaned weekly and placed strategically to minimize health risks. The guidance includes tips on feeder placement, types of food suitable for different seasons, and precautions for pet owners regarding certain foods.
