PREVENT BIRD FLU!! Use soap and water regularly 🐦+🦠=☠️

✅Watching birds flit around a feeder is a delightful backyard pleasure, but with news of bird flu, some worry about infection. While the risk to humans from bird feeders is low, there are steps to keep your feathered friends healthy and your enjoyment worry-free. Regularly clean your feeders with a diluted bleach solution. This eliminates germs birds might share as they jostle for seeds. Rake up spilled food and droppings around the feeder, reducing another potential breeding ground for disease. Spacing feeders out discourages overcrowding, another way to minimize the spread of germs between birds. Consider offering a variety of feeders, like suet feeders and nyjer seed feeders, to attract different bird species and reduce crowding at any one feeder. Most importantly, enjoy the birds from a distance! While it's tempting to get close for a better look, this can stress the birds and weaken their immune systems. By following these simple steps, you can continue to welcome a vibrant variety of birds to your yard while minimizing the chance of bird flu transmission.❎
