Bird food recommended for colder seasons

Single feed for wild birds. Many people now feed our wild birds not only in winter, but all year round. Year-round feeding makes a decisive contribution to compensating for food shortages, especially during the breeding season (e.g. when the weather is bad and there is no insect flight), thus giving as many young birds as possible a better chance of survival. Only use high-quality products. If you are setting up a new feeding place, it may be that no birds come at the beginning. Be patient. The birds first have to discover the new food source. But then more will come every year! It's simply a joy to watch when the old birds later show their young the place. Please don't forget the drinking facilities.

Wild bird feeding

Why does it make sense to offer food to wild birds? We humans have changed our environment. Natural habitats for native animals have become scarce. As a result, there is not enough natural food available. Today, hedges, shrubs and old trees are often trimmed for decorative purposes or removed altogether. There is a lack of plant and insect diversity, which is vital for birds. In addition, the natural flora in many domestic gardens has been replaced by exotic ornamental plants. Native wild flowers and herbs that could feed birds are regarded as weeds and meticulously removed from lawns and colorful flowerbeds. When the rare natural food sources become even scarcer towards the end of the summer and the first cold nights arrive in the fall, our feathered friends find it particularly difficult to meet their energy requirements without appropriate help. Feeding certainly makes a valuable contribution to the conservation of our native songbirds. However, maintaining a natural environment and creating nesting opportunities are just as important. Garden design that is as close to nature as possible, e.g. with hedges and shrubs, helps our birds all year round.

Recommendation for offering food

Place food in such a way that it does not get wet or icy. In a feeding house, the food is protected against rain and moisture. There should be trees and bushes near the feeding station to provide shelter in case of danger. The feeding station should be elevated. A radius of two meters should be manageable so that enemies such as cats cannot ambush the birds. The birds should not be able to sit in the food. Excrement contamination must be avoided as far as possible. Remove any soiling with hot water. Hang up tit dumplings protected from the rain. The dumplings are popular with tits and siskins because they are not driven away by the stronger bird species.
