Seasonal bird care: tips for the whole year
Caring for and supporting our feathered friends is a year-round commitment that changes with the changing seasons. In this comprehensive guide, we offer valuable tips and recommendations on how to support birds all year round. From proper feeding to protection - we've covered it all.
Spring: time of new beginnings
Feeding
In spring, many migratory birds return and need extra energy to replenish their reserves after the long journey. Offer a variety of food, such as sunflower seeds, fat food and fresh water.
Nesting aids
Now is also the perfect time to hang up or clean nesting boxes that are already in place. Make sure the nest boxes are clean, dry and safe from predators. A great idea for birdwatching enthusiasts is also a Nest box with camera.
Summer: support during the breeding season
Water supply
Water is particularly important in summer. Make sure you provide clean water in shallow bowls or bird baths to help the birds bathe and drink.
Pest control
Pay attention to hygiene around feeders and bird housesto prevent the spread of diseases.
Autumn: Preparing for winter
Change of feed
Start offering high-energy foods such as fat seeds and dried fruit to help the birds build up their fat reserves for the winter.
Foliage and shelter
Leave piles of leaves in your garden, they provide food and shelter for many bird species.
Winter: Helping birds survive in the cold season
Regular feeding
Keep feeders clean and regularly replenished. Birds will rely on this food source, especially at times when natural food sources are scarce.
