Whilst birds have always been a firm favourite amongst gardeners, the prominence of various species in popular culture is rising due to the numerous conservation campaigns capturing the attention and hearts of the public. This love of garden birds has permeated the design industry, driving a demand for bird-themed designs across all areas of garden décor. 

To help you stay ahead of the trend, Ascalon Design have pulled together a selection of their favourite bird-themed items, focusing on three popular categories – swallows, robins and chickens.
