Do you put out birdseed for the birds in fall/winter?

I just put mine out and as I'm sitting here at the kitchen table, it is being bombarded by birds! 😄
Cute little things love my birdfeeder! 🐦 😍

We feed birds in our garden not only in the winter but also in the summer. It is our impression that they need this help even more when they are busy feeding the fledglings.
We also leave some fruit and berries on trees and bushes for the birds.
We have many different birds nesting in our garden - mostly blackbirds and in bird boxes titmouses and sparrows but in the winter we see many other kinds of birds that are easier to spot after leaf fall and when they come to the bird table.
We also usually have lots of squirrels and they are fun to watch but it is annoying when they steal all the hazel nuts already before they are ripe. Fortunately they seem to like the hazel nuts best so they do not start plundering the walnut trees as long as there are hazelnuts to steal.

That is a really good idea! I have a returning flock of house sparrows who nest under the eaves of my house every spring/summer. They probably would appreciate food year round! 😬

Yes, but all year round.
i am a Birdie too. i have a little bird sanctuary. it has a variety of bird feeders for a variety of birds. sometimes i get falcons. that is always a problem. and the occasional deer so i put up fencing. it is tough being a birdie and yes, i do put out seed in the winter.

I feed my birds, deer. Squirrels and chipmunks tear round. Also my skunks and woodchucks :)
Love them all!

I give them my stale multi seeded bread and it's gone within a couple of minutes.

I had no choice, but to delete it all because I was attacked so badly on the post and in PMs that I couldn't even block them all. They just came back with different names.
That is what happens when you have a different opinion from others that isn't "mainstream".
