Feeding Wild Birds in the Fall
The autumn season is just around the corner but don’t take down your bird feeders just yet. Wild birds tend to rely on bird feeders for their secondary and maybe even primary sources of nutrition. Keeping bird feeders up through the autumn months is just as, if not more, important as any other season.
Bird watching is an ever-growing hobby in the United States
One common misconception people may think about leaving their bird feeders out through the autumn season is that birds will not migrate. This is called a ‘misconception’ for good reason. Birds will eventually migrate when they are ready. Leaving your feeders out is only helping prepare them for their long migration journey. Taking your feeders down too early confuses them and may leave them struggling to store up enough body fat for their long journey. This in turn will make for a hard migration. Therefore, leave your feeders out at least for two weeks following the last sight of a bird at your bird feeders.
Wild birds develop a daily routine of visits to bird feeders and other natural sources of food and nutrition. Most birds may rely on your feeders for a secondary or even primary source of food and nutrition. At this time of year their natural sources of food may have somewhat or completely depleted. To prepare them for migration, wild birds will stock up on body fat; therefore, you will see them more often at your bird feeders this time of year. With that said alone, it is important to keep your feeders out through the autumn months.
Leaving your bird feeders out through the autumn months may attract other migrating birds and potentially invite new birds to your feeding area the following year. Migration is a long and exhausting trip for wild birds. For those birds passing through your backyard, they will appreciate the sources of food in your bird feeders through the migration season. If your feeders are made available they will most likely make them their usual lay-over every migration season. Not only does this benefit migrating birds but you will get an opportunity to maybe see new wildlife that you may have not seen before. This is an exciting time for bird watchers.
It’s always important to keep your bird feeders clean just as you would during the summer months. Some people think they will not be used as much so why clean them. However, the cleaner your feeders are the more wild birds you will most likely attract during the migration season.
So think twice about taking down your bird feeders early. Remember that rather than a disservice, wild bird feeding in the autumn season provides opportunities for bird wildlife during the migration season. Bird feeders are a vital food source in the autumn months for those birds who have been accustomed to using the bird feeders you provide as well as migrating birds. If you do decide to take them down during the autumn season try waiting at least two weeks after your last bird visitor. Leaving your feeders out also extends your bird watching pleasure.

Grandma's Tip of The Day
If you are using Oriole Bird Feeders or Hummingbird Feeders and are having problems with bees and ants getting into the feeders, try Grandma's little trick that works well. Whether it be oriole bird feeders or hummingbird feeders, either one you can use this tip for. Place or hang a plastic water or pop bottle (no cap on it) around the hummingbird feeders and oriole bird feeders filled with a little bit of the nectar. This will reduce the amount of bees and bugs from getting into the oriole bird feeders and hummingbird feeders. The bugs will more often than not opt for the more accessible source of nectar verses the hummingbird feeders and oriole bird feeders. Hope this helps you out!
