I love in an apartment, building, second floor. We are not permitted to hang anything from our windows or on the fire escape. However, I place a glass pie pan with bird seed each morning on the fire escape. All I get are a few pigeons and a lot of sparrows and wrens. Every once in a while, a cardinal or a blue jay will stop by. But, as soon as the seed is gone, I will bring in the pie pan. There's a tree directly across from my fire escape. If there are still birds in the tree, I will refill the pie tray. I always make sure to bring the pan in once the birds fly away. Especially in the winter and very cold weather, I feel like I am doing something to help our feathered friends.

My neighbor has an apartment style bird house in his backyard with close to twenty chickadee's living there, I noticed the magpies would come and able to fish out and eat their eggs so one day I built a small birdhouse with just a 1 1/2" hole in it. I put it close to my neighbors but lower to the ground and sure enough they use it as a nursery every year but none live in it fulltime. The magpies try hard to get at the eggs but can't reach. Sometimes the chicks come out too early and fall to the ground without flying, I pick them up and put them back and they don't seem to mind.

I live in Labrador Canada, a very very cold climate in winter. Over a week ago I went for a walk along the lake and saw the abundance of food in and on the trees. The little winter birds were jumping from branch to branch eating. And if they were to run out in that area, they will fly to other trees, shrubs and areas. Alot more food out there in nature then you realize. If there is here in -50c weather am sure there is pretty much everywhere there is trees. I see you have plenty of trees in the background. God bless They are cute though I have to agree!😊

[@sherriianiro747]

There needs to be an abundance of vegetation that provides the seeds, nuts and berries birds need in the winter. Most of suburbia is a monoculture of grass and natural ecosystems are constantly being replaced by developments. A friend of mine is a Master Arborist and he said it used to be when a tree died another was planted but he said the last decade people don't want another tree because they don't want the leaves in their yard! Crazy but true - that's why we need to provide for wildlife as much as we can because there are less and less resources for them.

[@kathleenroberts6931]

Because of loss of Native Perrenial understory, Because of the introduction of Immitaion Japanese honeysuckle that has destroyed the trees, bushes, wild flowers, are gone. I feed the birds 🐦 everyday ♥

[@samnjoeysgrama1]

I'm in Colorado at 8,500 ft. It was -9°F last night. It may be the altitude more than the temperature, but I rarely see any bird in winter. Most people know it's Spring when the robins come back, I know it's spring when any bird comes back. I will put some bird seed out this week, but I have to wait until the bears are hibernating or they'll come and try to take all of it. We have a huge problem with the pine tip borer and moth. If this helps control those I'm all for it.

[@chiarabay9364]

There probably is food in early winter, but late winter, early spring is a desert. Once the nuts and berries have gone there is a difficult patch, made worse by non native species and climate change. Plus here in England, farming methods have destroyed winter bird feeding habits.

[@sherriianiro747]

@@chiarabay9364 You're correct - plus it all depends what kind of trees and shrubs one has, certain ones provide abundance for the birds. I am planting more of the trees and shrubs and not cutting back perennials that provide food, shelter and nesting for them plus the bird feeders like you said winter to early spring is the toughest time on them.

Last year I have started bird feeding on my balcony. It was an incredible experience, how birds start observing and interacting with humans. When a new person (to them) was on the balcony, often they came to "inspect" them. Unfortunately, during my summer vacation, nobody has fed them. And they didn't come back, when I started again. I think, there was plenty of food elsewhere. Even now - we haven't had frost so far - they aren't interested. But, in February beside food I will provide animal hair for their nests (human hair is dangerous for them!), I am sure I get back their appreciation that way.

I really do not like boxelder trees.... giant weeds.

[@bbtruth2161]

@@flightographist My woods are littered with fallen over boxelders. They spread like the plague, same with the ironwood. There's no shortage of them for the critters. And yeah, they will crowd out other trees. Those things grow any direction, even horizontal to reach for life and they don't die even when fallen over and rotten, just keep throwing out more shoots. Nasty things. The only positives are that the heartwood can be beautiful and because they rot so quick, I'm using them in a giant hugel kultur experiment.

THANK YOU for sharing this WISDOM! We did not know this about smaller birds (that they eat until full then cache seeds all over the place in trees, which in turn attracts other birds like woodpeckers, and they collectively keep the trees healthier). We're all about symbiotic relationships on our property, and it's AMAZING how well it all works. After you mentioned this, we suddenly NOTICED that the small birds indeed DO this, and now we SEE them doing it all the time! And sure enough, THAT'S why we have several woodpeckers of different varieties visiting our property so often. We literally just watched a chickadee deposit seeds on a tree and then moments later, a woodpecker showed up and ate the seeds, then moved on to another tree to hammer away and dig out some bugs from the bark.

Anna's Hummingbird can stay through the Winter. It's best once nights get cold to remove Hummingbird feeders so they will migrate South. But after a Month or so, I replace the feeders for any Hummers staying through the Winter. I even feed the Ravens on my roof and sometimes Hawks, since they nest in my tall trees.

@@StefanSobkowiak Seems cool I guess. The bird nerd has a video about the Anna's hummers wintering all the way into Canada I think. Now that surprised me. Thing is, I've read half of all hummers die each year. So I would rather see them fly to Mexico in the Winter. It must be very hard on them to find food and stay warm at night.
