Feed the birds!
Published: 26 January 2010
Plummeting temperatures and wintry showers are bad news for the birds. Birds struggle to find the food they need to survive the winter and prepare for the breeding season in the spring.
A spokesman for the RSPB's Northern England region stated Freezing weather is a potential death sentence for many birds, but by feeding the birds in their garden people can help them survive the worst of the winter weather. Just a little water, food and shelter can turn your garden into a vital haven for birds in the freezing winter months
The RSPB advises people especially when the weather is severe to put food out regularly. You can give the birds kitchen scraps such as animal fat; grated cheese and soaked dried fruit or use specialist seed mixes. But people are warned against feeding birds – salted nuts, desiccated coconut, highly spiced food or too much white or very dry bread.
