With these new early winters, I live in constant fear of my tits hardening up. There are two in my (lady) garden and i think one may be a cock.

What is the best type of food to provide for garden birds?

Many birds will happily eat a whole range of different foods. Amongst the very best are sunflower seeds, pinhead oatmeal, sultanas, raisins, currants, grated cheese, cooked potato in any form, melon seeds, stale cakes, tinned cat or dog food, chopped bacon rind, fresh coconut, suet, uncooked pastry and meal worms. If feeding peanuts, be sure only to put them in a fine wire mesh container so that large pieces cannot be taken. Never feed the birds salted peanuts; it is safest to buy only nuts with the Birdfood Standard motif. Never use desiccated coconut as this may swell up inside the bird’s stomach. Be sure to moisten very dry bread. Birds also need water, even in winter, for drinking and bathing, to keep their feathers in good condition to insulate themselves during the long, cold winter nights, so be sure to provide this for them too.

peck out a few things from the above list which you think could satisfy the chicks.
