I have been watching a female blackbird build it’s nest in my garden. She has sat on her eggs and is now feeding young but there has been no sign of a male blackbird throughout. She really is amazing but what can I do to help her. What food would help? Not only for the fledglings but also for her?
Hi Been, although there are natural foods like worms/insects around if you want to add food maybe either rehydrated dried mealworms (pre-soaked in hot water for around an hour) or live mealworms if finances allow as they are a little more expensive than seed.
