LITTLE feathered friends will soon join residents at care homes across Hampshire, thanks to a new initiative.
All 26 of Hampshire County Council's care homes are to have bird boxes installed and bird feeders in their gardens as part of a joint initiative by the recreation and heritage department's countryside service and adult services.
Councillor Margaret Snaith, executive member for recreation and heritage, said: "We are delighted to be working with our colleagues in adult services to provide the bird boxes and feeders for our care homes. This is a wonderful initiative which we hope will be enjoyed by residents within these homes."
Identification sheets and poster boards will also be provided to enable users to observe the birds and distinguish different nesting birds.
