Promoting the work of the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO)
Ernest Charles welcomes this opportunity ...
Birdcare means helping our birds survive. Whether it’s through a harsh winter or a dry summer, we as individuals can make a difference. Ernest Charles has long been committed to providing the best of birdcare products for your gardens. Now we are delighted to be associated through this catalogue with the UK's leading wild bird research organisation, The British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). The BTO is at the forefront of giving science-based understanding to the sometimes puzzling occurrences and trends we witness with garden bird life. Just this past 12 months have seen numbers of garden bird visitors seesaw, and there have been cases of avian diseases identified in gardens. We are grateful now to have direct access to the work and opinions of the BTO garden bird experts and to help promote the work of the BTO to the wider public.

Through our partnership with the BTO we have a Special Offer of a FREE BTO Nyger Feeder with Annual Membership of the BTO. This long established and highly respected organisation can give you all the answers to your bird questions, from vital bird feeding tips to the affects of climate change on bird distributions.
Introducing Dr. Andy Clements | Director | The British Trust for Ornithology
Garden Habitats The BTO has long appreciated the importance of gardens as a habitat for many species of birds. In fact, our BTO volunteers have been carrying out detailed bird feeding surveys in gardens for over 30 years.
Surveys These studies have shown the sharp population decline in the numbers of House Sparrows and Starlings, as well as increases in species such as Goldfinch and Siskin.
Results Such is the importance of garden bird feeding to the welfare of our birds that the BTO decided to develop its own brand of food and feeders.
Understanding As you might expect these are produced to high standards borne out of our long experience of involvement with and understanding of what wild birds need. I am sure they will enhance your enjoyment of, and engagement with, Britain’s garden birds.
Contribution All your orders make a real contribution towards our work to continuously improve the knowledge we have to protect our birds.
