Soaring temperatures can be worrisome for gardeners, as we battle to keep our plants hydrated and stop our lawn turning brown. But, it isn't just plants that struggle in such extreme heat, garden wildlife also needs your help staying cool and energized. Luckily, there are quite a few things you can do to help birds in a heatwave.
Of course, methods to help garden birds in summer already play a role in keeping birds hydrated, cool, and well-fed, but when extreme temperatures come along some extra assistance is required. Hot, dry days can drain birds' energy and leave them feeling overheated. But, by offering high-energy foods, plenty of shade, and clean water sources, you can do plenty to help.
