Our new poll finds children want to do more to help birds and wildlife, but a quarter cannot identify a robin. We need to help them help birds.

A new poll commissioned by SongBird Survival in the autumn has found that children aged 5 to 11 want to do more to help the UK’s wildlife and want to learn more about birds. Ahead of National Robin Day on 21^st December, the poll captures children’s love of birds – 89% believe hearing and seeing birds makes them feel happy.  But, nearly a quarter of children, 24%, don’t currently do anything in their garden to help birds.  

This winter, we want to encourage everyone, especially young people to find resourceful ways to care for our wildlife!

Winter is a tough time for UK songbirds, as temperatures drop, and natural food supplies are limited.

They're going to be focused on three key things to make sure they can get through the winter; Food, Water and Shelter.

Little things with big consequences
