Keep your bird table looking good by cleaning it regularly and spending a few minutes each month to check its structure.
Here are some vital steps for keeping a good cleaning routine:
- Each time you provide food, make sure you brush off any existing food from the surface of the table
- Try to prevent positioning your table on wet grass if it doesn’t have rot resistant feet
- Every year, do a deep clean with a mild disinfectant. Always rinse and air-dry before use
- From time to time, check the screws and fittings to make sure they are tight and the table is secure
- Always wear rubber gloves when cleaning as some diseases can affect humans too
- Don’t use cleaning brushes for any other purpose
- Choose a bird table that has a flip top lid to make it easier to access and clean
- Move tables occasionally to prevent a build up of nest dropping underneath
