We all know that sunflower seeds are good to eat, and very healthy too – but don’t forget that birds love to eat sunflower seeds as well, so why not make bird cakes to hang in your nursery gardens for the winter? After all – you will have lots of sunflower seeds from your flowers.

The Sunflower Challenge has joined forces with the RSPB to bring you this fabulous bird cake recipe from Jane Asher. For further information on how to look after the birds in your gardens please see www.rspb.org.uk/gardens/whatyoucando .
