With the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch taking place from 24th to 26th January, it’s the perfect time to focus on how your garden can become a sanctuary for birds. By making small but meaningful changes, you can create a space that not only supports birdlife but also enhances biodiversity in your local area. Home to UK’s largest portfolio of coir products, at CoirProducts by Salike®, we’re passionate about sustainable gardening and bring to you eco-friendly solutions to help you make a difference. Here are a few ways to turn your garden into a haven for birds.
Provide natural shelter with our CoirProducts bird nests
Birds need safe spaces to rest and nest, particularly during harsh weather. Installing bird nests can make your garden a refuge for them.
Why choose CoirProducts bird nests: Our coir-based bird nests are not only aesthetic but also provide a comfy and secure space for birds. Made from natural, biodegradable materials, they blend seamlessly into your garden while offering a sustainable alternative to plastic or synthetic nests.
Install bird-friendly feeders and bird baths
Birds rely on gardens for food, especially during winter when natural resources are scarce. Setting up feeders with a variety of seeds and nuts will attract different species. Add a bird bath to provide fresh water for drinking and bathing.
Sustainable solution: Opt for feeders made from natural or recycled materials.
Plant for pollinators and birds
Grow native plants, shrubs, and trees that provide food and shelter for birds and other wildlife. Berry-producing plants, such as holly and hawthorn, are great for feeding birds naturally.
Pro tip: Use our Coir Vital Grow potting mix, Coir Pots, CoirCoins, and Coir Seed Trays to sow and grow your plants sustainably. Our innovative range of products are peat-free, biodegradable, and reduce your garden’s impact on the environment. So it’s a win-win for all!
Create a no-dig zone
Disturbing the soil can harm insects and worms that birds feed on. Dedicate a part of your garden to a no-dig zone where birds can forage naturally.
How CoirProducts can help: Use our coir mulch mats or coir sheets to protect the soil while retaining moisture and improving biodiversity in the area.
Avoid harmful chemicals
Pesticides and synthetic chemicals can harm birds and the ecosystems they depend on. Switch to natural alternatives to keep your garden bird-friendly.
Sustainable practices: At CoirProducts, we offer natural solutions for your gardening needs, such as coir substrates that nourish plants without harming wildlife.
By making these changes, your garden can become a thriving safe haven for birds. Not only will you support local wildlife, but you’ll also create a peaceful and lively outdoor space to enjoy. With CoirProducts’ range of sustainable gardening solutions, from coir bird nests to biodegradable coir pots, you can make a difference for birds and the planet, while creating your very own green haven.
