Birdfeeding Tips:

1 |
Keep your bird feeder full all year around. |
|
2 |
Place feeders in a native landscape that has a healthy supply of trees and shrubs... the birds will feed more often and stay longer. |
|
3 |
Birds are more likely to frequent your feeding stations that always have a consistent supply of water. |
|
4 |
Use natural foods in the winter months |
|
5 |
Locate feeders at different levels to avoid over crowding and attract the greatest variety of species. |
|
6 |
Attract more birds by providing a variety of different feeders. |
Did you know that over 100 North American bird species supplement their natural diets with birdseed, suet, fruit, and nectar obtained from feeders?
Birdfeeding can benefit birds and also provides great birdwatching from your own backyard. The obvious time to feed birds is in winter when natural food supplies are scarce; however, additional species visit feeders during the spring and fall migrations, and also during summer while nesting.
To keep birds coming back to your feeders in any season provide them with the following three essential elements: Variety of quality seed; Fresh water for drinking and bathing; Ample cover, preferably provided by native plants. Native plants also provide potential nesting sites and a source of natural food.
