What to feed birds in a bird feeder in winter

The main rule is that birds are not allowedfeed, they only need to be fed a little, partially satisfying their hunger. Overfed birds become lazy, do not want to look for food on their own, and too fatty food has a negative effect on their health.Not all products can be fed to birds in a bird feeder in winterPhoto: Getty The list of permitted products is quite extensive, but it also has many nuances. Healthy food:

Pumpkin or sunflower seeds. They contain many useful elements that help birds withstand low temperatures with minimal losses. In no case should not give the birds roasted or salted seeds, it can lead to their death.
Millet, wheat, oats. This feed is very fond of small birds.
Unsalted lard and meat. Pieces of bacon need to hang on a strong rope as high as possible so that it does not get a roving four-legged. Such treats should be given only in the cold. At temperatures above zero, meat and fat will deteriorate quickly.
Pine cones, nuts, acorns. Such delicacies can attract even larger birds - jays, woodpeckers.
Dried rowan berries. It is better to prepare these fruits in the fall.
Seeds of maple and ash. Bullfinches especially love them.

As a delicacy, you can offer the birds slicesapples, boiled egg, low-fat cottage cheese, thick oatmeal. On frosty days, you can put a slice of quality butter in the feeder.

What can not feed the birds

Anything salty or fatty is strictly prohibited. It is also not recommended to feed birds the following food:

fresh bread;
millet;
pies, cookies and muffins;
roasted and salted sunflower seeds;
salted lard;
spoiled products.

Birds have a hard time digesting fresh bread and pastries,because these products are too fatty and heavy for their digestive system. In addition, they simply fill the stomach, but do not provide enough energy. The maximum that can be given is crumbs of dried white bread. Even good products can be harmful if the feeder is dirty. Therefore, once every few weeks, the feeder should be thoroughly washed with hot water and disinfectant. Uneaten food should be removed regularly every day. The successful wintering of birds is the key to maintaining balance in nature and controlling the number of pests.
