Make It a Happy Holiday for You and Your Birds
There’s something magical about watching birds flock to your feeders, knowing that you’re making a meaningful difference in their lives. This joy feels even more special during the colder months when your support becomes a lifeline for our feathered friends.
The life of a bird in winter can be a bit stressful; kinda like finding the perfect gifts for your friends and family. Fortunately, with the proper additions to your backyard, you can make it a happy holiday for you and your birds.
- Provide Food - Even though you feed the birds year-round, you may need to change the foods you offer this time of year. Provide high-calorie and high-fat foods like Bark Butter®, SuperSuet®, or our Winter SuperBlend®, and you'll give birds the energy they need to survive and thrive in colder temperatures.
- Provide Water - This one might be a little more surprising. Birds need a reliable source of water in the winter to maintain clean feathers that help them stay warm.
- Provide Cover - Roosting boxes or natural plant covers help birds find protection from cold weather. Shelters also provide protection against predators, such as birds of prey.
So that's a lot of gifts for the birds, what about a little something for you? By providing food, water and cover, your yard is THE place to spend the holidays as far as a bird is concerned. So relax, take a few moments from the hustle and bustle of the season, and enjoy the holiday getaway that you've created.
