Insectivorous birds — tits, robins, dunnocks, wrens, finches in their nestling phase — eat enormous quantities of garden pests through spring and summer. A pair of blue tits feeding nestlings will get through several hundred caterpillars a day; long-tailed tits work through aphid colonies methodically; robins follow you round the vegetable garden cleaning up leatherjackets and other soil pests as you dig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's why a feeding station like this works particularly well alongside our biological pest controls and the wider organic-gardening kit we stock. Encourage the birds with winter feeding; they'll repay you with the equivalent of free, gentle, ongoing pest control through the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat else helps\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA few additional habits make a feeding station significantly more effective:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeep it consistently stocked\u003c\/strong\u003e — particularly through winter.
