Hi all, I live on a houseboat on the Medway estuary, Kent. Yesterday we noticed our resident mallard has a new broad of 7 chicks, unfortunately though last year we only saw the chicks for a couple of days and each day it was distressing to notice the number of chicks get less and less :( I'm wondering...

I recently found a fledgling Jackdaw in the woods by my house. I backed off and left it, watching it through binoculars for a time. It became apparent that the parents were not feeding it as more than four hours passed without a sign of them.I decided to go in and move it to a tree because it was fluttering...

For the past few weeks my sleep has been ruined by a noisy bird outside our window. We live in the centre of town but have communal gardens with trees outside our windows where the culprit sits. It started off waking me up at 5 or 6 am but the past two nights it has been 2.30am and 2am! I have tried...

Heya I live in Chippenham and used to have loads of blackbirds visiting our garden, but we haven't seen any since around Spring, and even then we didn't see many young as we usually do. Is there anyway we can attract them again? We get some other birds like long tailed tits, blue tits, crows...

This makes the bath difficult to clean as the paint chips off and I worry about the birds who use it. I was planing to repaint it and I wanted to know if there is...

I was just curious as to whether there is a reason behind the sudden increase in dead birds in my area. I live in Braintree, Essex and I walk my dogs for about 3hrs every day, I cover a large amount of the local area and over the last two years I had not seen one dead bird that I can remember now in...

For the past few years weve had a pair of robins nest in our garden, and usually they come, we find the nest and leave them alone and we dont see much off them until we find the nest empty. However this time (i dont know if these are the same robins) but they have came again and made a nest and had...

Thanks, Coal. It's been there around a year now so they should be used to it. They don't seem scared of it as they sit on the top and feed from a seed holder not a foot away. I've made some "fat balls" out of lard, nuts, raisins and seeds tonight, shaped in yoghurt pots, and...
