Among the many good practices for wildlife management learned in France, there is that of tree trunk washers positioned near the supplementary feeders instead of the concrete bases.

This practice, long tested in France with excellent results, essentially serves to significantly increase the protein intake in the food availability of partridges and especially of chicks. In fact, beneath the trunks, anthills rich in larvae soon form, of which partridges and their chicks are very greedy.

Among other things, everyone knows that in the diet of chicks the protein component (insects, larvae and eggs, precisely) is preponderant and the washers, attracting ants, favor the increase in availability, with benefits notable on the success of their growth in nature.
