Thanks  for this post........

 

Birds can only keep warm from the food they eat...........maybe provide a little water too ,because they need clean feathers to keep warm.................

 

I have been feeding birds for over 30 yrs...............and i still don't know how they ever survive in winter......especially  in this exceptionly cold period........God must love them very much................

 

They must be Gods little Angels  <3

It is so cold only a couple of Chickees and one Bluejay today. The rabbits and squirrels are not around .It is bad and no school tomorrow as well. I live in N. Wisc. It is supposed to be in the low 30s Sat. 

 

I have several feeders and also throw seed on the deck and ground.  No Finches today either.

@Shaunac- we fed the birds for years, over 14 years in this house in addition to years at the house we lived in prior to this one.

 

But this past spring and early this summer we trapped two unwanted creatures in our attic, which the exterminator removed after they found the trap and died and we’re out also. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

We used to have bird feeders, squirrel corn feeders, birdbaths for water. We stopped because of all the poo all over the fence/yard plus the mice show up especially since we live in between 2 people that think their backyard is a garbage can.

Don't get me wrong.  Love the birds, but I only feed the hummers.  I've had four feeders for 9 years now. 

 

The others that require see can go find it elsewhere.
