Winter is one of the most challenging times in the life of wild birds. Short days, frost, snow and ice severely limit their access to natural food. Yet it is in winter that they need most energy, to maintain body temperature and survive the long cold nights.
That's why winter feeding makes sense - and when done correctly, it can really help.
Energy determines survival
Little songbirds can use up a large part of their energy reserves in a single frosty night. If they can't find food quickly in the morning, they can weaken very quickly.
Regular feeding:
- helps the birds keep enough energy
- increases their a chance to survive severe frosts
- Supported by healthy winter population, which will be rewarded in the spring with singing
Safe feeding starts with the right feeder
It's not enough just to put seeds in. The feeder should protect the food and the birds themselves from bad weather and at the same time allow them to feed peacefully and safely.
In winter, it is important that the food remains dry and the birds feel safe when feeding.

What to feed birds in winter
To ensure that the birds really benefit from feeding, it is important to choose the right food:
- sunflower seeds
- quality seed mixes for outdoor birds
- fat blends and tallow balls (without plastic packaging)
On the contrary, avoid baked goods, salty and spicy leftovers.
Don't forget about regular inspection and cleaning of the feeder, to keep feeding hygienic and safe.
