AIBU to remind people to leave water out for wildlife?

[savvy7]

Help the wildlife in the heatwave please. And don't forget to put some stones or pebbles in so wildlife can safely escape. thanks

Bump for your thread, I ready do this.

We have a raised birdbath, an on the ground dish and a dish full of pebbles I top up each day.

i know it was advised we stop feeding the birds over summer a while back but is this still the case? Especially with the weather.

Done

Definitely - I have to put water in my mum's birdbath daily and the pots of water for the hedgehogs is dry every morning 😳.

I've got dishes out under the hedges, and they're emptied most mornings in this weather. Plus water for the birds. It's so grim for wildlife, this weather. It's eerily quiet.

Yes I have a few of these in my garden and top up morning and evenings. It is such a joy watching the birds washing themselves and also what bird get priority. There is a strict order.

@PensionPTake I'm still feeding the birds but only suet/fat balls and meal worms- if you soak the meal worms over night it gives them extra moisture. Don't forget the hedgehog, some soft meat flavoured cat food will be very welcome

Totally agree and already do. Who on earth would think this is an unreasonable request? I despair.

Thanks for posting - will do when I get home

Going to do it know- hedgehogs in bottom of garden

Shameless bump!
