| Wild Bird Feeding |
 | |  | |  | |  | |  |
There are many different types of wild birds that you can attract depending on your location and climate. Things
to keep in mind when planning on putting up a wild bird feeder is where the feeder will be placed, and animals
such as squirrels or predators. While some wild birds do not have a preference for the types of seeds provided,
others will not be able to break open the shells with their beaks, so you will want to explore what types of wild
birds are in your area and what they prefer to snack on for your feeder. Sunflower seeds, cracked corn and
mixed seed are popular blends of feed for wild bird feeders while other items such as white millet, nyjer, suet
and fruits will attract an entirely different population of birds.
Many people will think about feeding wild birds in the fall and winter months since their natural food supply may
be limited. This is a great time to start even if you have never tried your hand at feeding before. But do not limit
your feeder to just the colder months. Many wild birds will continue to visit your garden and provide you with
their songs and activity throughout the year as long as you maintain the food supply. There are a number of
different styles and types of wild bird feeders so you will have to examine where it will be located and the types
of birds you wish to attract in order to make the right decision for your new feeder.
Remember to keep your feeders clean, free of mold or debris and have a supply of clean water on hand nearby.
Water is just as important to wild birds as the food is and should be looked after regularly as well. By keeping
only a few days supply of seed in the feeder, you can clean out the feeder as needed and replenish the food
without having to take a large amount of time to do it. Depending on the type of seed you choose, there may be
shells remaining or even bird droppings, which you will want to clean before refilling for the next few days. You
would not want to eat your dinner out of a dirty dish, so neither should they. Clean feeders will help your wild
birds remain healthy and fed and coming back for more.

There are many reasons to feed wild birds. Whether you just enjoy watching and
listening to them in your garden, or to help control the pest population of your
organic garden, wild bird feeding can be helpful and essential to you and the
birds. There are some who stumble across many wild birds by accident once
they create their garden and are looking for ways to keep them coming back
regularly. More and more gardeners are shying away from pesticides and sprays
that can harm their plants and pets so having a population of wild birds can help
keep those plants free from snails, caterpillars, and other nasty predators.
