Summer Bird feeding Tips

bottle brush before refilling. It would be best to clean your nectar feeder at least once a week, and more often in hot weather.

Bird Feeding Tips Beyond Summer

In the late fall and winter, heavy snowfalls bury natural sources of wild bird food. In addition, most of the lush berry and seed-laden vegetation of spring and summer has withered and blown away, and most insect species are either dead or dormant. Because food is scarce, winter bird feeding tips are extremely important.

 

In the springtime, feeding provides the supplemental nourishment birds need to recover from migration.
