Wintertime in New Jersey does not mean that your bird watching season needs to end. Be a good bird “landlord” and encourage winged visitors to stay in your yard by offering fresh food and water. High energy suet and Black oil sunflower seed provide the much needed calories to thrive in the harsh winter months. A bird bath deicer ensures that fresh water is available by keeping your bird bath ice free and drinkable for your thirsty birds. Keep your “tenants” cozy by offering some bird houses or a few inexpensive roosting pockets. Lint from your dryer in the crook of a tree guarantees them nesting material to make their winter home warm and snug. Follow these simple steps and you can be sure to delight in your wild birds all winter long.
