A winter larder: plant a natural feast for songbirds this autumn
Autumn season tips for gardeners to help songbirds
September 14, 2026
SongBird Survival is working to change the future of songbirds by funding research into the causes of the decline, and creating solutions.
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.
Do you remember the last time you heard a chaffinch sing? That trill - a familiar sound of spring - is now under threat. There are 49 songbird species considered 'at risk' in the UK, yet a recent YouGov survey found that 44% of people have no idea songbirds are in trouble.
That matters, because people can only act when they know there is a problem.
Will you donate to turn awareness into action, and research into real change for songbirds?
We need your help to fund our crucial independent research and work.
