Should we feed the birds all year round? We do but are we doing more
harm than good?

I don't, I just feed in winter when food is thin on the ground.
In the rest of the year let them eat the bugs that destroy our crops.

But that's the reason to go on putting out feed, though perhaps in smaller
quantities. They know there will still be food in your garden but they'll
eat the bugs too.
