About David Lindo
David has been an urban birder from an early age, learning about the birds in his local area. With a wealth of experience behind him, David is now a well-known writer, broadcaster, photographer and naturalist who has a passion for bird life in urban environments throughout the world - over 250 cities no less. Through his work he inspires people to re-look at their own urban areas and promotes the appreciation and conservation of the birds that share our towns and cities.
"Engaging city folk with the natural environment that surrounds them through the medium of birds is my passion and, is indeed, the main vocation in my life. One of the best ways to connect people with nature is through feeding the birds in our gardens. However, not enough is said about feeding birds in our towns and cities as 81% of us live in urban areas. That's a lot of bird life that we could be supporting this winter! That is why I am delighted to have joined forces with CJ Wildlife. I have long admired them for their professionalism and provision of superb quality foods and feeding apparatus. I hope that together we can get the nation feeding the birds even in the heart of our concrete jungles!"

Living in urban areas
Utilise your outdoor space
Here are our tips to get you started:
- No space is too small – everyone can do something which can make a big difference
- If you can only put up one food, choose between fat-based foods or sunflower hearts
- Choose quality over quantity – less is more when it comes to nutritious bird foods
- Windows offer a great opportunity to maximise space and get closer to nature
- Build up! A pole feeding system takes up little room but can support multiple feeders & dishes
