Bird feeding is possible all year round. Birds need energy in the spring to lay eggs and raise their young, in the fall to build a fat reserve for the winter, and in the winter to stay warm. Especially when the days are shorter and rain and snow make it difficult to find seeds.
Isn’t it an idea to combine the useful with the pleasant, and make a ceramic feeder for our feathered friends? It can hang beautifully in the trees or bushes in your garden, or you can make one to put on a pole. You can also install a feeder on a balcony or gazebo. The tits, sparrows, finches, and other twitterers will thank you, and you’ll get a colorful, cheerful display in return.
You have a lot of options, and a lot of shapes to choose from. It is important that the food can stay dry, so some kind of roof is necessary. In addition, make sure that cats can’t reach it. Place them at least 1,5 m from the ground. Learn more about what food attracts which birds, and what’s best to scatter at what time of year here.
