Want to see birds without ever having to leave home? Look no further than outside your own window. All you need to attract birds is the right type of bird feeder and food.
And don’t be concerned about creating a hardship for birds should you decide to take a hiatus from bird feeding.
Backyard bird feeders account for a relatively small percent of a bird’s overall food supply, which is why when traditional food is available (i.e. worms, insects, seeds, berries, etc), birds will often opt for that instead.
Find out more about the different types of seed and fruit, and which birds each attracts. And save the date: Focus on Feeders, our annual winter bird count, will take place February 2 and 3.
