gnipper 6,543 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Sorbus aucuparia will give you berries but if you want a load of different birds just sow loads of wild seeds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Rhodies won't be any use as nothing eats and, rarely, nests in them! Bullys want rowan and honeysuckle......Goldies are more of a thistle type of bird. You're best planting a wild bird game crop and see what comes in.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bazil brush 474 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Cheers JD, There's plenty of land at the back of my house to I might go get some of them purple flower weeds that grow tall as I see plenty of Goldie's on them, also got a crappy bit of land in my garden I wouldn't mind putting weeds that will benefit them in. Will have a knock around some garden stores see if I can find one of these Rowan trees or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
