Fall is a great time to feed the birds! Provide birds with food and water, and you’ll attract a wide variety of birds to your backyard.
Fall Bird Feeding Myths: Some people mistakenly believe that feeding birds in the fall will prevent them from migrating south. This is simply not true. A reliable food source, such as your backyard feeder, is only a minor factor in the migratory pattern of birds. In actuality, feeding birds in the fall will actually help them migrate as you are providing birds with the energy to travel thousands of miles.
Offer Fuel: Use feeders with a large capacity or use multiple feeders to provide ample food. Feeders that deter squirrels, such as the Droll Yankee Flipper Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder, are particularly helpful. Holly Dentico, English Gardens Birding Merchandise Manager, suggests the Birdscapes Squirrel Be Gone Feeder as well as the Woodlink Audubon Squirrel Proof Caged Tube Feeder.
Seeds & Suet 101: Most birds that stay in Michigan during the winter eat seeds, as insects become increasingly difficult to find. Offer a variety of seeds in multiple feeders to attract a wide range of birds:
Be Consistent: As birds become accustomed to you offering food, they continuously return to your feeders. If you plan on leaving for an extended period of time, ask your neighbor to keep your feeders full.
Winter is Coming: As winter draws closer, consistently offering food to birds is increasingly important. During the winter, stamp down snow around feeders to help ground-feeding birds, such as Sparrows. Offering water will attract more birds to your yard, particularly when ponds are frozen.
Follow these few tips and you’ll continue to attract birds to your yard throughout the year.
