4 tips on how to keep the terrace or balcony clean after bird feeding

You probably know the problem of feeding the birds after the birds have had a good feast. There are shells of sunflower seeds or pieces of nuts that have fallen off everywhere. Some feeders don’t mind, but maybe you’re one of those who doesn’t want to clean their patio or balcony every time. Some landlords prohibit bird feeding because it creates too much mess. If you want to feed the birds, there are a few ways you can avoid having to reach for a mop every day.

Of course, commercial peanut butter from the discount store is only suitable for us humans and should not be fed to animals, as it contains too much salt. However, there are peanut butters specially made for birds and squirrels that you can safely feed them. These are available in different variants such as with mealworms, fruit or nuts. The food is in jars that can be placed in different feeding stations. Alternatively, you can place the glass on a table or a tree trunk. However, it should be noted that the glass cannot fall down.

This peanut butter is compatible with various feeders. Whether made of wood, metal or recycled plastic – they all have that certain something and birds like to fly at them.
