Top 10 Ways to Help Birds in Bad Weather
Wintertime, and the livin' ain't easy. Birds are hungry, and the snow's piling high. We all know by now that birds can survive without our help in the winter. Some ornithologists have even suggested that bird feeding is more beneficial to us (humans) than it is to the birds. Be that as it may, studies have shown that birds with access to bird feeders in winter survive at a higher rate than birds without access to feeders. The difference between the haves and the have-nots is not huge, but it's there. Feeding birds in winter, if done right, is a good thing for the birds (and for us, too). If you live where there is such a thing as winter, a blast of harsh, snowy weather can mean extra effort to keep the feeders going for the birds. These ten tips, rooted firmly in common sense, can be used as a checklist to help you prepare your feeding station for the worst of weather.
