Things to avoid
There are several things you want to avoid in your garden furniture when you’re trying to help the birds
1. Avoid Large See Through Panels
As you may imagine, the bird population hasn’t evolved with many see through yet solid panels floating around the countryside, and so the introduction of large panels of glass on your garden furniture can cause big problems.
Similar to the way conservatory doors can receive many bangs from wandering birds, panels on garden furniture will receive the same treatment!
Not only does this put birds lives in danger, it also could end up damaging your expensive furniture, so best to keep the glass paneling for inside.
2. Avoid Spikes and Sharp Edges
Unless you’re planning on putting off birds all together, anything with sharp edges (particularly on vertical facing sections) should be avoided.
This means any decoration that involves large studs or spikes, unfinished metal or rough edged wood should not be used in order to save the birds feet.
Choose a smooth material such as wood-effect composite or rattan furniture.
