The Irish Wildlife Trust has shared this key advice
The winter months can pose a significant challenge for birds as they struggle to access their natural food sources. Experts in wildlife are now encouraging households to lend them a helping hand.
The Irish Wildlife Trust has stated: "Birds will become dependent on the food you supply, so it is important to make sure your feeders are kept topped up to prevent them from having a wasted visit." Their advice is that a bird's gut isn't designed to digest milk, which can lead to serious stomach upsets or even death. Instead, the trust recommends giving birds dairy products like cheese, with mild grated cheese being a good way to attract them, reports the Liverpool Echo.
