Our Extraordinary Garden focuses on bird feeders!

In this special episode, Tanguy Dumortier shares simple tips to attract a wide variety of birds and witness a fascinating ballet right in your own backyard.

On board his specially designed "Bike Food Truck" for the occasion, Tanguy will travel through a small part of Belgium to deliver seeds and survey the terrain!

How to properly feed birds to attract maximum diversity? What types of feeders to choose? Is it possible to have a feeder in an urban environment, on a terrace, with a cat at home? Yes! But then... how to protect these feeders from predators... And how to prevent large birds from invading them?

Diversify food offerings, multiply feeding stations, consider a small bar or even a drink station... and you may have the chance, like Pascal, to observe over 26 different species at your home! It's also an opportunity to meet our little mascot Bernardot, an adorable mischievous red squirrel who sometimes cheekily joins the table of all these little birds...

Often, beauty lies in small things... A few sunflower seeds... Some peanuts... Apple slices... and the titmice dance begins!"
