As spring arrives, birds require more food to nourish their young. Leftover sweetcorn is an ideal choice for feeding birds, as it is soft, packed with carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins, and has a high water content, which is essential as temperatures rise. Clare from Really Wild Bird Food emphasizes that while many raw vegetables are indigestible for birds, sweetcorn, peas, and plain mashed potatoes are safe options. Birds such as robins, blackbirds, and sparrows are particularly attracted to sweetcorn scattered across lawns or bird tables. However, it is crucial to avoid offering seasoned foods or dairy products, as even small amounts of salt can be harmful to birds. By using kitchen leftovers wisely, you can support local wildlife in a cost-effective manner while enjoying the beauty of nature in your garden.
