In the northern climates it is very difficult for birds to find food especially when there is snow cover. Placing a bird feeder in your garden is not only a very human thing to do for our feathered friends it will provide you with hours of entertainment.
During these cold periods it is hard sometimes to find food and once birds find out that you are providing them some they will come in droves . They will be darting back and forth and hanging off each other to try and get to the feeder. It is great fun to watch and you will be surprised at just how quickly you can recognize returning birds by their markings and personality.
A bird feeder is also a great way to teach children about nature and putting them in charge of filling the bird feeder is a good way of teaching them responsibility as well
