This is the squirrel proof feeder I’ve been using through the hot weather and the one I point people towards when they ask me which squirrel buster to go for.

In warmer months, hygiene at the feeding station matters more than people realise. Wherever birds gather to feed, there’s a risk of disease passing between them — and the RSPB Easy Clean Squirrel Buster has been designed with that in mind.

Eight features built in to keep birds healthy:

🐦 No standing in food
🐦 No droppings in food
🐦 No crowding
🐦 Protection from rain
🐦 Deters pigeons and doves
🐦 Non-porous materials
🐦 No condensation inside
🐦 Comes apart by hand in seconds — no screwdriver needed

It also keeps squirrels, rats and pigeons out with the same weight-activated mechanism as the classic Squirrel Buster, holds 1.2 litres of seed, and comes with a lifetime guarantee. RSPB endorsed.

Introducing the RSPB Easy Clean Squirrel Buster — and yes, the clue is in the name. 🐿️

This is the feeder we’ve been waiting to add to the shop. Same patented weight-activated technology that keeps squirrels, pigeons and rats out while the little birds feed freely — but with one important upgrade: it comes apart by hand in seconds, with no tools needed, making it genuinely easy to clean as often as you should.

And here’s why that matters. Wherever birds gather to feed, there’s a risk of disease spreading between them. The RSPB Easy Clean Squirrel Buster has been carefully designed to reduce that risk in eight ways:

🐦 No standing in food
🐦 No droppings in food
🐦 No crowding
🐦 Protection from rain
🐦 Deters pigeons and doves
🐦 Non-porous materials
🐦 No condensation inside
🐦 Quick, easy cleaning

1.2 litre capacity, four feeding ports, RSPB endorsed, lifetime guarantee. The best squirrel-proof feeder we stock for summer feeding — and the one we’d recommend to anyone who wants to do right by the birds visiting their garden.

The best week at Chelsea. Being away from my girls never gets easier, and the mum guilt is real. But I couldn’t have done it without family and friends who stepped in so brilliantly. The girls have spent more time in the pub with my parents than I ever manage, which is really saying something. The dog has discovered a love of custard creams after her stay with our neighbours. No notes. My brother and husband helped me put up and take down the stand without ever questioning my life choices (out loud).

Home now, and the garden feels like it’s been waiting for me.

Seeds from and to plant (both stands were stunning), the most beautiful dahlias from my new Chelsea buddy to grow, a gorgeous sewing project from lined up for the girls over half term, and the house smelling exactly as it should again thanks to a fig reed diffuser from .

The feeders are full. The garden’s swept. First load of six is in the machine. I’m about to eat something that isn’t a cereal bar for the first time in eight days. And I’m slowly, gratefully, coming back down to earth and looking forward to getting back to normal again. 🌿

Day 3 at , met so many brilliant people who are as obsessed with garden birds as I am, learned a ton, and discovered that gluing moss to a wall is a special kind of hell I won’t be repeating. Huge thanks to my husband for holding down the fort (and giving me the chance to head home last night and feed the kids oven pizzas, which absolutely counts as a fancy meal). Grateful for every lovely stand owner I’ve crossed paths with this week. 🌿🐦

I sell bird food. I love birds. I have a vested interest in you keeping your feeders filled, and I think it's important to say that upfront. 🐦

So when I tell you that I don't think the current evidence requires you to remove your seed feeders this spring, you should factor that in. But I've read the research and I've looked at the actual detection rates. I've talked to customers, answered your questions, and thought carefully about what this means for the birds in urban and suburban gardens where natural food sources are limited.

My honest position: feed carefully, feed cleanly, and keep going. The birds need you at this time of year.

Four new pieces on the blog this week. Link in bio.

Here's what arrives with every A Little Bird Co subscription order. 📦
The bird food blend is adjusted for the season, put together for what UK garden birds actually need at that time of year. April's is the New Families blend, designed specifically for nesting season.
And then there's the Monthly Titbits booklet. This month it covers:

The science inside an eggshell and how a chick develops without any contact with its parent
A deep dive on the blackbird, including why its bill brightens up in breeding season
A bird quiz on nests, which bird do you think builds with spider silk?
What's happening in British wildlife this April beyond the garden
What to plant now if you want to attract more pollinators and wildlife

It's the kind of reading you pick up and don't put down quickly. We think a subscription should feel like something worth looking forward to, not just a refill.

Greenfinches and chaffinches are getting most of the attention right now, and rightly so. But they're not the only birds in trouble. 🐦

House sparrows, starlings, blackbirds and song thrushes are all in serious decline too. And their problems aren't disease-related. They're losing habitat. They're finding fewer insects. They're struggling with the same landscape changes that affect everything else.

These birds are at your feeders because they need to be there. The breeding season is the most critical time of year for any bird species. For birds already under pressure, a clean, well-stocked feeder in spring and summer isn't a luxury. It's genuinely important.

But feeding is only part of it. The bigger picture is harder to look at. Intensive farming has stripped insect life from huge swathes of the countryside. Hedgerows have been lost. Gardens have been paved over, concreted, turfed with artificial grass. The messy, scrubby, overgrown edges that birds depend on for nesting and foraging have been tidied away, season by season, across millions of plots.

The good news is that gardens can genuinely help. Leaving a patch of long grass. Planting native shrubs. Letting ivy do its thing on a fence. Putting off the autumn tidy until spring so seed heads and leaf litter stay in place through winter. A log pile in a corner. A patch of bare earth. None of it is complicated, and all of it matters more than most people realise.

I'm not removing seeds from my range. I'm not telling you to stop feeding. I am asking you to feed cleanly, and to think about what else your garden might be doing for the birds beyond the feeder. Read more on the blog. Link in bio.

Something has been sitting with me since the RSPB guidance came out, and I wanted to share it. 🔍

The disease trichomonosis is a real issue and absolutely deserves to be taken seriously, particularly given the impact it has had on species like Greenfinch. My reservation is whether removing food sources during the breeding season is necessarily the right path to take, when hygiene may be the more effective place to focus.

The research behind it involved swabbing feeders in gardens where sick birds were already present. In those gardens, the parasite was found in 1.88% (2 out of 106) seed samples from feeders. Swabs from feeder ports and mesh returned zero positive results, while the highest detection rates were in base trays (19%) and water baths (24%).

Which tells me that removing your seed tray, keeping feeders dry, and cleaning your bird bath regularly may be one of the most practical ways to help reduce transmission.

I’ve written about this properly on the blog. Link in bio.
