Wild Bird Feeding Tips
-
Bird feeders should be
located near protective cover
such as trees or shrubs, for
best results. Shelter them from
prevailing winter winds.
-
Store your feed in a dry and
rodent free place, like a
plastic trash can with a tight
fitting lid, or five gallon
plastic buckets with lids.
-
Buy seed in largest
quantities available. 50 lb.
bags will save you money. An
active rural feeding station can
use up to 400 lb. of seed in
winter.
-
Be consistent in feeding
birds! Maintain a dependable
food supply all winter long. The
lack of natural food sources can
be dangerous!
