Keeping feline predators out of your garden shouldn’t be like ‘herding cats’. Here are five tips that might help keep the neighbourhood moggies away from your feeder and the precious local birdlife.

In the heat of summer your local birdlife needs a reliable chill-out spot, a space they can drink and wash in. It’s good for them and it’s great for nature lovers too.

In July over 1200 different birds in 16 different categories will be on show in Hamilton. We’re proud to sponsor the big event and to support the hard work of the entrants and the beauty of their birds.

Taking care of the local birds is a great way to keep pets (without really keeping them). Forget vet bills, hair on the couch, hours of grooming, disgruntled neighbours, terrified mailmen etc. Instead simply enjoy all the antics, character and beauty from the comfort of a deck or garden chair.
