People often ask here if they should go on feeding birds at this time of
year. Judging by our experience, I have to say "yes, please, please do!"
We have two seed feeders in just one small area of the garden and I am
having to completely refill them every two days. I think adult birds must
be using them for easy nourishment for themselves while racing around
finding food for babies. Even in winter I've never known their levels drop
so quickly. By contrast, the peanuts are hardly being touched.
