Hi, thanks for accepting me into your forum, I don’t get many unusual birds in my garden just the sparrows & blackbirds & of course the wood pigeons. Recently my husband trimmed our neighbours clematis which was hanging over our fence on our side of the garden. The sparrows have lived in the clematis for 2 years or more & we have been feeding them & have become very tame….. but since the he trimmed the clematis the sparrows have disappeare. There was plenty of clematis left for the birds to roost in but I just wonder why they’ve left, it’s still is a very substantial hedge.
