WINTER IS QUITE HARD FOR BIRDS

Birds are an essential part of food chain, hence we all doubteless need to look after them.
There are some studies about the gradual extiction of some birds due to different causes such us pollution, invading especies, lack of insects or food, etc.

Winter weather doesn't help to their presence in nature when they suffer harsh conditions and no insects could be easily found around.


There are all kinds of ways to feed birds, from bird tables and hanging feeders to devices you can make yourself.
We have started feeding birds this winter in our balcony. It's been very easy and quite cheap as you can see on the photo!!


I usually fill the feeder with grains, breadcrust, breadcrumbs or seeds. You can easily buy them at any supermarket. These are the ones we buy for them, special food for canaries and goldfinches. They love them!!
