SongBird Survival welcomes new RSPB guidance on safer, seasonal bird feeding
New RSPB guidance echoes scientific concerns long raised by SongBird Survival about the risks of year‑round feeding and the need for nature‑led support for songbirds.
Our scientific research found chemicals used in veterinary flea and tick treatments present in birds' nests. These pesticides have potentially harmful effects on songbirds.
Our campaign will help raise awareness of the environmental risks associated with these treatments.
SongBird Survival believes that the evidence base that informs UK policy is inadequate or lacking, and more needs to be done to identify the real drivers behind continued songbird declines.
We commission and fund high-quality scientific research to fill in these evidence gaps.
We need your help to fund our crucial independent research and work.
