National Feed the Birds Day

Help the wild birds in your backyard to survive the long, cold winter by feeding them. That's exactly why this special day was created. Mid and late winter are especially hard on all outdoor animals. By mid winter, food sources become scarcer and scarcer for the wild birds that over-winter in your backyard. What little food that is available, can get buried under deep snow. The bird feeder that you place in you backyard, in view of your picture window, may be entertaining to you as a bird watcher. It is also vital to the survival of birds in harsh winters.
