Feeding Birds

Feeding birds

In general, it's bad practice to feed wild animals. That's because teaching wild animals to associate humans with handouts can lead to problems.

How often should you feed birds?

As a general rule, it's best to put out food at least once a day; take care to provide food at the same time, so the birds know when to travel to your garden.

What is the best way to feed the birds?

Choose feeders with no sharp edges or points; the design should allow birds to perch away from the food to keep it from becoming soiled. Set up more than one feeder and allow ample space between them to avoid crowding. Choose a feeder with drainage holes, and add a plastic dome to keep seed dry.

When should I stop feeding birds?

After feeding the birds throughout the winter, many people take down their feeders in the spring. Some people take them down in early summer. Others don't take them down at all and continue feeding year-round. There is no prescribed proper time for taking down feeders.
