Bird Feeding

A bird feeder can be an easy and inexpensive way to attract birds year-round. There are a variety of feeders and foods, but most fall into a few traditional categories. Some are better than others, and each will entice certain species. It is important to keep feeders clean and to place them in safe locations—but if you take proper care, feeding will benefit the birds, helping them survive and reproduce.
