I like to feed birds during the winter but I wait until the weather changes from warm “Indian Summer” days and nights to cool autumn weather. That’s because bird feeders can attract bears and other animals, and I don’t want to attract them to my property. When the weather turns cold, bears become less active, and it’s safer to start feeding the birds. I start with my window feeder<\/a>, which is filled with premium bird seed<\/a> that attracts a wide variety of birds. Next I will hang a feeder <\/a>from a tree branch with seed I buy in bulk (40 lb. bag)<\/a> and another with a suet cage<\/a>. I enjoy watching the birds come and go, and I feel good knowing that I’m helping them to survive the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within minutes of setting out my feeder, a black-capped chickadee was feasting on the seeds and fruit. Chickadees are one of my favorite birds to watch. They are so curious and enjoy eating the seeds from the feeder. I am so happy to provide food for them and other birds in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
