Gardeners are encouraged to offer ripe bananas to birds, especially during warmer months when birds require extra energy and hydration. Bananas provide essential nutrients like potassium, vitamin B6, and carbohydrates. To serve, slice or mash the banana and place it on bird tables or scatter it in the garden. However, it's crucial to remove the banana peel entirely, as its cellulose content isn't suitable for birds' digestion and may harbor harmful bacteria. Regularly clean feeding areas to prevent disease spread and ensure birds have access to fresh, nutritious food.
