The birds using a garden in Aberdeen are not the birds using one in Plymouth, and the month you should start feeding is not the same either. These pages cover 31 UK cities — the local green space birds actually travel along, the species worth watching for, and when the feeding year begins where you are.

Does bird feeding advice change across the UK?
The basics are the same everywhere: sunflower hearts, clean water and a feeder near cover. What changes is timing. Northern and Scottish gardens need high-energy food earlier in autumn and later into spring, while southern gardens feel summer drought and the spring hungry gap more, so water matters most there.
- Sunflower hearts and a clean bath work in every UK garden.
- Scotland and the north: start fat balls and peanuts early in autumn.
- The Midlands: the hungry gap in late spring catches many gardens out.
- The south and Wales: keep water going through summer dry spells.
- Every city page names the local species and nearest reserve.

No. British Bird Feeders is an online shop with no branches. These pages exist because the advice genuinely differs by region, and every UK address gets the same delivery and returns.
Yes. Use the page for the nearest city in the same part of the country, since timing and weather follow the region rather than the city boundary. We deliver to every UK address, not only the cities listed here.
Keep sunflower hearts going all year, and bring in high-energy fat balls and peanuts as the first cold nights arrive. That tends to be a little earlier in Scotland and the north than in southern England.
