Winter Bird Feeding Feeding wild birds helps connect us to nature simply by looking out the window. It can be uplifting and relaxing all at once; fabulous therapy for everyone’s busy lives. No wonder it has become the hobby of choice for many people, whether country, or city dwellers. While this is a great thing for both people and the bird populations, we must understand that it also puts the responsibility of keeping those birds fed on us. Many of the birds who would normally migrate choose to stay and winter here because of the food we have provided them. This is fine as long as we continue the feeding process right through to mid April. This is when the wild food sources become available again. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the birds that have been coming to the feeders regularly will starve before spring gets here. So make sure you stock up on sunflower seeds, suet and nyjer seed so your garden of wild birds will have no trouble making it through this winter. Co-op Country stores carry all the bird seed and supplies you need to help our feathered friends stay healthy all year. Come check out our huge variety of bird seed and feeders!
