Hello! And welcome to Wilder Skies the podcast… The place where we talk Birds, Wildlife and all the hard hitting Conservation topics on the top of everyone’s minds… This week we're talking to the guys at ‘Finches Friend’, Dick and Andrew, who are paving the way for cleaner, greener and invasive free bird feeders… Finches Friend produces some amazing bird feeders, which not only keep things super clean, with their smart easy to dismantle, easy-clean feeder parts but are the perfect way to keep your garden birds happy without the pesky squirrels and parakeets getting involved… Dick and Andrew discuss how Tricominosis has swept through the passerine world, particularly finches, mainly due to unhealthy, dirty bird feeders, and how good garden feeding hygiene and the right, simple to use bird feeders, can help keep back the wild bird diseases and allow those declining finches to thrive again… Take a listen and let me know what you guys think… And watch this space to hear how my very own Finches Friend bird feeders fair in the garden, as I’ll be posting about these smashing products and their potential in a weeks time on the socials… :-)
