Safe & Sound For Winter

In the colder months birds find it more difficult to find food because plants go dormant and bugs stay deep underground, etc. If you live in a place where it snows I recommend setting up a couple feeders of any kind (except hummingbird feeders, hummingbirds fly south) for the winter. It's mostly cardinals and blue jays and other small birds like sparrows and chickadees that stay for winter. I suggest buying a feeder that holds seeds or scraps of meat. You can buy these at your local grocery or wild bird store (such as Meijer). I also recommend buying a feeder post. You can usually buy them wherever you buy bird food. A feeder post has several "branches" that allows you to hang up multiple feeders. You can leave all these feeders outside year-round but winter is the most important time of year to set up a feeder. Happy Feeding!
