Bird Feeders

 


Today I decided, because the temperature is dropping rapidly, would make my bird feeders.
Tied strings around pine cones and covered them with beef dripping, and hung them in the trees where we can watch them from inside in front of the fire..
The sparrows and the waxeyes just love this treat in the winter, although have to stop when spring comes, or else their offspring do not learn to fend for themselves.

I like to feed the birds in the winter as well. Here in the UK the RSPB encourages people to feed the birds throughout the spring so that the parent birds can refuel whilst feeding their chicks
