February is National Bird Feeding Month.
National Bird Feeding month was founded during the 1990s; it is a great way to help our feathered friends, especially during the winter months.
The winter months are often the harshest time of the year for the natural world, due to it being much colder during these months and food being scarcer.
With food being less abundant in the wild during the winter for wildlife it can make it harder for animals to survive the winter months. But, you can help...!
You can help animals like birds survive the winter months by providing them with food and water in your garden.
Foods like suet and fat balls can be especially helpful for birds at this time of year, as it gives the birds a source of energy that can help keep them warm.
It is helpful to feed the birds all year round, but it's particularly helpful during months like February in the Northern hemisphere, when it's the middle of winter.
Plus, feeding the birds and providing a wildlife-friendly garden for them will bring you great joy and help you connect with the natural world around you.
Happy National Bird Feeding Month!
