TEST Winter bird feeding is rewarding for the variety of species it brings to your yard during the winter months and beneficial to the backyard bird population when food is sparse.
The winter weather can present challenges for our feathered friends as their natural food sources, such as insects, berries, and seeds are scarce, and their energy requirements are high – added to this, shorter days give them less time to gather. Supplemental winter feeding should include high-energy foods high in natural fats and proteins. These foods help our backyard birds fare better throughout the season, maintain their energy, and stay warm in harsh weather conditions.
