Why Feed the birds?

Backyard bird feeding is an easy way to enjoy Mother Nature. By inviting the wild birds into our yard we are able to enjoy the ebb and flow of the seasons. You’ll chuckle at the antics of a male bird as he tries to entice a mate in spring. The whole family will gather at the window when the proud parents bring their young to the bird feeder for the first time. It’s amazing how watching a couple of birds frolic in the bird bath can make a hot summer day seem a little cooler, or how a few Chickadees flirting from branch to branch can make the back yard seem a little warmer on a cold January day. So go ahead and hang that one little feeder and before you know it you’ll be like the rest of us, with four or five bird feeders outside your windows, a field book and pair of binoculars within easy reach on the inside.
