Although many think that wild birds benefit from backyard feeders only during certain times of year, birds actually have a year-round need for reliable, steady food sources.
During spring, birds have migrated from their winter homes and are often depleted from the trip. On top of this, they must think about mating, nesting, and looking for food for themselves and their offspring. All of this takes precious energy, and their food sources are still scarce as new plant growth is just starting to appear, which is why it’s as important to feed birds during spring as it is during winter.
Bird Feeders Help Parent Birds Feed Their Chicks. Birds only get about 25% of their food from bird feeders; the rest they find in the wild.
