FAQ-Domande Frequenti
Frequent questions :
- Why buy a manger / nest?
Wild birds often cannot find food in winter, due to a lack of fruit on trees or many insects not available at certain times of the year. Putting a feeding trough on your patio or garden helps these birds survive the winter. A nest, on the other hand, is even more important considering the vastness in which entire forests are cleared and therefore the lack of natural shelters.

- How and when a feeding trough / nest should be installed?
The most suitable time to install a manger is at the beginning of winter, when the cold begins to be felt. It will take some time for the birds to get used to the new location and start frequenting it. At this particular time it is important to continue to supply the manger with fresh food.
The manger must always be placed in a quiet and safe place to ensure that visitors are not disturbed. To prevent access to food for large birds (crows, pigeons, magpies) it is always necessary to create hanging feeders (from the branches of plants, from the window) to allow only small birds to lean on to feed. All of our feeders and nests come with a simple hook on the back for easy hanging from a tree or nail on the wall.

- What kind of food is best for wild birds to use?
A feeding trough can attract many different species of wild birds, such as, depending on the food you put in it.
Kind of food | Bird species |
---|---|
Hemp seeds and chopped corn | Finches, greenfinches and goldfinches |
Sunflower seeds | Finches, greenfinches, tits |
Sweet crumbs | Robins, tits, finches, blackbirds, blackcaps |
Dried fruit | Tit |
fresh fruit | Blackbirds, thrushes, blackcaps, robins, blue tit |
Fat and meat | Tit, robins, blackbirds and thrushes |
IMPORTANT: starchy foods are not to be considered the ideal food for birds, but a few crumbs of panettone or biscuits can help them accumulate energy to overcome the coldest days of the year. Seeds rich in "good" fats are always the preferred diet.
