Summary
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has advised against feeding garden birds seeds and nuts throughout the summer months. This recommendation aims to help curb the spread of avian diseases.
Instead of traditional feeders, the charity suggests providing small amounts of mealworms, fat balls, or suet to support local wildlife while minimizing health risks.
This initiative reflects the RSPB's ongoing commitment to wildlife care and the health of bird populations, particularly during warmer months when disease transmission can increase.
