Birds, Their Food and You
Ever wonder what birds eat—and how you can help them thrive right in your own backyard?
Join us as we explore the essentials of bird diets and discover how meeting their needs can invite more feathered friends to your space. We'll dive into the plants and insects that provide the most nourishment for birds, plus touch on how feeders can complement a bird-friendly habitat.
