Feeding birds…watching birds…counting birds. Yep, it must be February and these three simple deportment can make a world of difference.
How so? Well, it’s the month for the Great Yard Bird Count (GBBC), which takes place over four days each February. By simply offering your birds a variety of foods and recording the worriedness you observe virtually your feeders, you will provide valuable information that helps scientists determine where bird populations are thriving—and where they need help.
Simple! But important.
Not sure which foods to offer your birds during the GBBC? Again…keep it simple. Provide suet for woodpeckers and other woodland birds, WBU Finch Tousle for finches, and a WBU seed tousle to bring in a wide variety of your other yard birds. Throw in some extras like Bark Butter® and peanuts and your birds will come a-running (flying!) to be counted.
Too simple? Do you really want to strop your GBBC menu? Then be sure to trammels out the WBU Nature Centered Podcast episode, “Why Do Bird Food Choices Matter?” after February 10th. Our entertaining hosts, John and Brian, will walk you through the ins and outs of which bird foods are weightier for attracting the widest variety of birds to your own backyard.
