Winter Bird Feeding Tips

Rich Edie:

Hi, Rich Edie with Wild Birds Unlimited in Cypress and on Memorial Drive. We’re here today to talk about being seasonally savvy when feeding birds in your backyard. Well, what’s that mean? That means that at different times of the year, different birds have different needs, and different birds will even show up in our yards, which we’ll talk about that as well. One of the most important foods you can provide to your birds in the backyard right now is our Winter Super Blend Seed Blend and our cylinders. This is a high-fat, high-protein mix that is especially formulated to help the birds through winter.

Now, you might be saying in Houston, “It doesn’t get that cold.” Well, it’s not even just about the cold, it’s about the long nights. If you think about a bird, it starts getting dark and it’s shorter days around 5:00 and they can’t come out again until about 7:00 AM. That’s roughly 14 hours of roost time that they need to spend getting through the night. Winter Super Blend will help them survive those nights, and it’s a very nutritious food to offer them. If you’re looking for something to help your birds this winter, try our Winter Super Blend.
