How To Feed Backyard Birds

Some wild birds need to eat 10-thousand calories a day to survive, and Wyomingites can help supplement bird diets by putting out feeders in the winter. Black oil sunflower seed is a favorite of many backyard birds in this area, according to the National Wildlife Federation's David Mizejewski. He recommends setting out several feeders with different types of seeds and suet, and then make plans for this spring to create more natural winter habitat for birds.






He says there are some myths about wild bird feeding...such as if you start feeding, you can't stop, or birds will be harmed.







N-W-F offers a Certified Wildlife Habitat program, to help Wyomingites choose landscape elements.
