With winter right around the corner it’s time to prepare everything for the cold weather ahead. This is also the time when you need to prepare your birdfeeders for winter. The colder it gets, the more the food source for birds diminish. Many birds don’t make it through the winter because they don’t have food to eat but you can help take care of this problem by making sure they have a reliable food source.

Since your bird feeder may become the main source of food for the birds around your home, it would be a good idea to take a few minutes and get them ready. The following tips can help you make sure your birdfeeders are ready when they are needed the most.

• Clean out and wash the feeders.
• Check for damage and replace any feeders that can’t be repaired.
• Use a variety of different types of feeders to accommodate the needs of different species of birds.
• Scatter the birdfeeders around the yard in different areas so the birds won’t all be gathering in the same place and competing for the food.
• Place them in areas where the sun shines the longest if possible but try to keep them close to shrubs, trees and birdhouses where they won’t have far to go to get the nutrition they need.
• Choose birdseed that contains a good source of energy such as black oil sunflower seeds and suet.
• Keep a check on the feeders to make sure they are filled at all times.

These few simple steps will encourage the birds to stick around your home during the cold months and greatly improve their chance of survival. Plus, it gives you the opportunity to enjoy all the beauty they bring to your backyard when everything else may seem dull and lifeless.
