Let's face it, millions of us haven't got gardens. We live in high-rise blocks or flats with no outside space at all, or maybe in the inner city with just a small yard. In which case, it is surely even more satisfying to be able to share our lives with birds. As it happens, quite a few species choose the "high life". Swifts and House Martins nest in or under roves. Starlings in walls, Pigeons and Kestrels on ledges, Jackdaws down chimney stacks and so on. Added to which, a short vertical journey up a few stories is nothing to a creature that can fly, especially if there is easily available food up there.
So, what I am saying is: don't let the lack of a garden stop you feeding the birds. It you have a window box, seed can be scattered in it, or you can attach a small feeder or bird table. Even if you only have a window bird feeder, why not try a feeder on a bracket just outside it, or one of the small suction cup window feeders. Once the birds get used to them, you will be rewarded with some delightful close up view. These days there are feeders to suit every situation, and the birds will certainly appreciate them. And so will you.
