Our Journey and Mission
Founded in 2017, What to Feed Birds in Winter UK is a passion project turned into a mission-driven news website dedicated to providing comprehensive guidance on feeding wildlife, with a specific focus on birds during the chilly winter months. The idea stemmed from our founder’s personal interest in birdwatching and their concern about the nutritional challenges birds face when natural food sources are scarce.
