In winter, it is especially important to take care about birds, because in the cold season it is difficult for them to find food.
This was reported by “URA-Inform” with reference to Aktualno.
Healthy food for birds:
strong>
- Garden crop seeds: dried vegetable seeds are a great way to feed birds.
- Fruits and berries: leave some rowan, rose hips or hawthorn on the bushes or dry them in advance.
- Sunflower seeds: raw and unsalted, they are rich in fats and give birds a lot of energy.
- Grains: oats, millet or pearl barley are a great addition.
- Lard and butter: especially useful for tits, which need fatty foods in winter.
- Eggshells: will provide birds with the calcium they need for their bodies.
What you shouldn't put in your feeders:
- Fresh bread: birds' digestive systems can't handle it. Bread can clog the stomach, cause inflammation or other problems.
- Buckwheat and rice: these cereals are poorly digested.
- Millet: acceptable in limited quantities, as it spoils quickly.
- Barley, semolina, peas: poorly digested by the body of birds.
- Leftovers from the human table: often contain salt, spices and fats that are harmful to birds.
By feeding birds in winter, you help them survive the harsh cold, and also instill in children care for nature.
