Wildlife can have it tough in the winter, especially if it’s a particularly harsh one. A big shout out Thank You to all the kind-hearted folk out there who take the time out to fill up bird feeders and put out suet to help our feathered friends keep warm.
The Canadian Wildlife Federation has some tips on how you can help wildlife make it through the cold months:
- Keep Bird Feeders full and clean off after storms
- When you take down the Christmas Tree, place it in your backyard as a winter shelter for birds.
- Winter is a good time to do some research into local wildlife and their needs
- Keep track of birds that visit your feeders
- Put out suet and fat mixes to keep birds warm and provide energy
- It’s best to provide natural sources of food and shelter for birds by planting a variety of native flowers, shrubs and trees that produce seeds and berries.
