How To Keep Feeding Your Birds Through The Winter Posted By: katie

Being a bird enthusiast shouldn"t be forgotten about once the first snow starts to fall. It may be below zero outside, but that doesn"t mean that your birds should go hungry. Since food is even scarcer in these months, the wild bird food that you provide just may be their only source of nourishment. You can still leave out bird seed on your regular bird tables but the snow will cause the seeds to freeze, ferment and decompose. The best option would be to install a baffle over the regular seed trays to prevent snow from falling in. It would also create a warm and dry spot for birds to rest and feed without getting bombarded with snowflakes. A baffle is a device made out of plastic with much resemblance to an umbrella. These will also keep other hungry animals away from your bird seed. It would also be wise to put away your tube feeders as snow might clog the tubes, making it impossible for birds to reach their food. When you are serving bird seed, make sure that it is a mixture that attracts more than one species.Wild Bird FoodNiger SeedBird Tables
