Regarding the birds that you're leaving behind, I would do what Gill has already suggested.About 2 weeks before you leave, start reducing the amount of food you put out every day. Then by the time you move out the birds will be used to little food being available so will already be looking elsewhere.....mabe in your new garden<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />The good thing about moving house at this time of year is that there will be plenty of the birds' natural food around so I wouldn't worry too much.</blockquote>
