Caring for wild birds in winter.  Food and water is scarce in winter be sure to help out our feathered friends with some of the ideas below.

• Many birds look for resources in the Fall so start filling your feeders now
• Do not place feeders to close to bushes where predators may hide
• Place feeders near trees or other places birds can go to for safety
• Fill feeders with Suet, Niger thistle seed & black sunflower seeds
• Provide a heated bird bath in colder climates were water may freeze

Continue to fill feeders through winter as birds find their resource in the Fall they may not have another birdfeeder to go to.
