CARE TO QUENCH THEIR THIRST?

Like everyone else, birds need to drink lots of water and shelter from the heat during the hot weather. However, unlike the rest of us, they can’t turn on a tap for some cold water, or switch on an air conditioner to cool down.

The best thing people can do for our birds is to place a dish of water in the shade so that the birds can have a drink or cool off in it. Make sure it’s not too deep so that birds won’t drown in it! Or place a stick or stone in the water so that smaller birds can get out again if the water is too deep for them.
