Island residents are being encouraged to test their knowledge with a digital bird quiz for National Nest Box Week (14th to 21st February).
Garden birds need a safe place to raise their chicks, and the online quiz shows how residents can open up their gardens to give their feathered friends a home for the season. Prizes to be won are designed to help homeowners make their own gardens wildlife-friendly and do their bit for nature’s neighbours.
Following the success of the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch, the nest box quiz has been designed for homeowners to learn more about visiting birds. Participants will also have the chance to win RSPB vouchers up to £100.
Each entrant to the quiz will learn more about a range of birds as they’re asked to match common species to the homes that suit their needs.
The quiz comes as part of Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ commitment to supporting wildlife on their developments and to celebrate the housebuilders’ national partnership with the RSPB.
Tammy Bishop, Sales Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes, Southampton Division, said:
“We always try to give nature a home at our developments, creating new habitats as part of our long-term partnership with the RSPB. Alongside National Nest Box Week, hopefully this quiz can get all generations involved to learn more about wildlife and nature.”
Anyone wishing to take part in the housebuilders’ digital bird quiz has until Monday 28th February 2022 to enter the prize draw. With six prizes up for grabs in the form of RSPB vouchers, homeowners will be able to make their gardens inviting for birds, in addition to other wildlife such as hedgehogs, bees and butterflies.
