Ahead of this weekend’s Big Garden Birdwatch, Ocado Retail has partnered with the RSPB to design miniature meals for birds, using food scraps you're not going to use up. The recipes have been launched to help families keep the nation’s birds well fed this winter, whilst tackling food waste at home.
The recipes for birds include Blackbird Berry Cheesecake - a dessert made with leftover shreds of grated cheese, and Wagtail’s Winter Stew - a dish made using vegetable scraps and seeds. These are launched alongside Robin Raisin Ice Cream, Seedy Sushi and Fruity Finch Tart.
Each bird recipe contains one or more of the foods the nation is most likely to end up throwing away at home according to climate action NGO WRAP, such as cheese, vegetables and fruit. The launch comes as data from WRAP highlights that the average family with children throws away more than £700 worth of food each year.
