Here are some images taken at the bird feeders we installed in Franks Park, in Belvedere, Greater London. Not only birds come here to feed, but mammals too. Tits, Nuthatches, Woodpeckers and Parakeets climb on the hanged feeders, but also spill some food on the ground. This attracts Rats, Squirrels, Magpies, Pigeons and others to forage on the ground, attracting in turn a local predator, the Fox.

Mourning doves, cardinals, and sparrows…among others…prefer to forage for food on the ground and rarely visit traditional bird feeders. But you can still provide for them with a simple ground feeder! You’ll need wood…like this rough-sawn cedar…a 20-inch square of aluminum house screen…nails…a staple gun and staples. Following the instructions, carefully measure and cut out the sixteen segments. After you assemble the first, inner, square…stretch the screen over it from one bottom outside edge to the other. Staple the screen in place along the outside edge. Then assemble the rest of the feeder. Slide the screened floor into the base, where it rests on top of the legs, and fill it with a mix of sunflower seeds, millet and milo. Rotting seed isn’t a problem because the water drains through the screen…and when the feeder needs cleaning, all you have to do is lift the floor out and hose it off.
