Helping Our Feathered Neighbors Survive and Thrive This Fall and Winter
As we move through Fall to Winter and the temperatures continue to drop in north central Georgia, our backyard and woodland feathered neighbors will have a difficult time finding enough to eat. We know part of the reason is the continued loss of habitat, along with fewer reliable seed sources. Birds are hgh energy and need access to reliable sources of healthy seeds, possibly fall or winter berries, fresh water, and, if possible, suet.
We can easily improve the odds of survival for all our feathered friends with just a few additions to our yards. Even one or two hanging bird feeders with nutritious seeds, a source of clean water, and a suet hanger will go a long way to improving their odds of survival. And, we will have hours of entertainment by just looking out our window to see who dropped by for a healthy meal.
In this article, we’ll cover familiar birds who could use our help. We’ll also focus on those specific birds struggling to survive in Georgia’s changing environment. We have a list of easy and inexpensive ways to make your yard or your balcony a safe and welcoming place. We have also included suggestions for specific native plants you can plant this fall that will feed and shelter birds when Spring arrives. We can easily improve the odds for survival for our winged neighbors as well as increase the number of baby birds that will survive this Spring!
