Did you get involved with the Aussie Bird Count week? Every October, this fantastic citizen science event encourages Australians to pause, look up, and count the birds in their local area. It’s a wonderful moment of national connection and a vital check-up for our bird populations.
At Sill and Sage, we hope that week sparked a desire to keep that connection to nature going. The count is over, but the opportunity to foster birdlife and beauty in your home, garden, or organization is continuous. We are here to help you transform your space from a one-week counting spot into a permanent, bird-friendly sanctuary.
There’s something special about the gentle flutter of wings and morning birdsong greeting you as you step outside. Adding a bird feeder to your garden doesn’t just feed your local feathered friends—it transforms your outdoor space into a living, breathing sanctuary.
Why Attract Birds?
Birds bring movement, colour, and personality to your backyard. They also help with natural pest control, spreading seeds and keeping your garden ecosystem healthy. Watching them dart and dance between branches is a small daily joy—one that slows you down and reconnects you with nature.
Choosing the Right Feeder
-
Hanging feeders: Perfect for small birds like finches and wrens.
-
Platform feeders: Ideal for larger species such as doves and parrots.
-
Stake feeders: Great for on lawns and among your garden plants.
Place your feeder in a quiet spot near shrubs or trees for shelter and safety, and remember to keep it clean and stocked with fresh wild-bird friendly seed or water.
Create a Bird-Friendly Haven
Pair your feeder with native plants, a shallow water dish, and a few perching spots. You’ll soon have a regular crew of visitors bringing energy and song to your mornings.
