Feeding Birds in Frosty Weather: Haith’s Bird Feeders and Food
When temperatures drop and frost coats the countryside, feeding wild birds becomes more than just a pleasure—it’s a lifeline. During icy conditions, birds expend extra energy staying warm, making reliable access to high-energy foods essential for their survival. With a few practical adjustments, you can ensure your bird feeding routine benefits wildlife, even in the harshest weather.
Investing in durable feeders is key. Haith’s range of sturdy feeders is designed to withstand freezing conditions, providing a dependable feeding station when birds need it most. Made from robust materials, they resist damage from ice buildup and remain functional, even in frosty weather. Choose feeders with easy-to-clean designs to prevent food spoilage and ensure hygiene during winter.
Next, focus on offering high-energy foods that provide vital fuel for birds. Haith’s energy-rich bird foods, such as suet pellets, sunflower hearts, and fat balls, are ideal for frosty days. These foods not only stay fresh in cold temperatures but also provide the calories birds need to maintain their body heat. Scatter some on the ground for ground-feeding birds, or place them in feeders to attract a variety of species.
Finally, remember to keep water sources unfrozen by refreshing them regularly or using a birdbath heater. Birds rely on water for drinking and preening, even in winter.
By using Haith’s durable feeders and high-energy foods, you can make a real difference to your feathered visitors this winter—helping them thrive when they need it most.
