About Ground Feeders
A little curiosity. A closer connection.
Stories and practical guides for people who want to understand the animals around them.
The person behind Ground Feeders
Hello, I'm Dean G.
I started Ground Feeders out of a love for watching wildlife and a desire to make my garden a place where it can thrive. For me, encouraging biodiversity begins close to home: providing food, shelter and space for the birds and small animals that visit.
Watching the birds and small animals in my garden has made me curious about how they live and what they need. Ground Feeders is a way to share that curiosity, explore how we can care for our garden visitors and inspire others to welcome a little more wildlife into their own outdoor spaces.

Useful guidance starts with care.
Our editorial standards call for relevant evidence, clear regional context and honest attribution. These are the principles that guide our writing and review.
- Keep the sources close. Link to supporting guidance and identify the organisations or authors behind it.
- Explain where advice applies. Seasons, species and local conditions differ. Advice for one region should not be treated as universal.
- Be clear about what we know. Distinguish sourced guidance from our own practical suggestions, and acknowledge uncertainty.
- Keep learning. Review guidance as it changes and welcome corrections from readers.
