Think ‘high and dry’. You’ll want to keep it away from those scheming local cats and other predators. Be sure to avoid placing it under where birds regularly perch too. In these spots the food can get contaminated from droppings.

Who's coming to lunch?
The annual NZ Garden Bird Survey helps provide a clearer picture of bird populations and what types of birds can be found in each region.
While some of these species may be at home throughout Aotearoa others are less wide-ranging. For example, the silvereye is popular in Canterbury but rarely seen in Northland, and the myna is only found in the North Island.
You can find out more about the survey by clicking here.

FAQ's
Where should I hang my bird feeder?
Ok, I’ve got the feeder up and the birds are ignoring it. What’s going on?
Patience, grasshopper. It may take a few days for birds to discover your feeder. Once they do you’re sure to see a flurry of feathery activity.
How else can I attract birds to my garden?
Planting native trees always helps. Tūi and korimako love flax or kōwhai and native jasmine, koromiko or other hebe species will bring insects which in turn attract birds like the piwakawaka and grey warbler. Check our article here.
I don’t have anywhere to hang a feeder. What can I do?
Don’t worry – if you get a waratah (Y-post) you can use our Peka Peka feeder. This great invention works as a stand-alone feeding platform, helping native birds eat and drink free from the threat of predators.
How often should I feed bread?
Very rarely. Bread is high in calories and low in… well, anything good at all for a bird’s diet. Serve small portions up as a treat. But remember that birds need nutritious seed, vitamin-rich fruit and essential fats and protein.
How often should I clean my bird feeder?
Cleaning your feeder should happen every month – and it’s a good habit to get into. Read this article to see why it’s important (and how easy it is).
Are there certain foods for certain times of the year?
There certainly is. Go for Wildbird seed mix and fruit in the warmer months and energy food, nectar feeders and mealworms in the colder ones. Read all about it here.
