Aries Organic Bird Food
The first snow! Not only children are enthusiastic about the white wonder. Even adults enjoy the first heralds of the cold season. The white-covered landscapes and trees let emerge totally completely different feelings for the local wildlife. For wild birds now the hard time of the year begins. Cold temperatures and particularly snow always means food shortages. And only the healthiest birds will be welcoming the spring while happily chirping. Besides the lack of food it gets cold. The little ones are endangered the most. The smaller the body mass of the feathered friend, the higher the energy input to maintain the necessary body temperature. The lower the fat reserve of a bird, the lower is its chance of surviving the low night temperatures. Particularly small birds inevitably only have low fat reserves. Small birds like the blue tit are looking for food almost the entire day, in order to protect themselves from the cold night with a fat reserve. The only 10 to 12 grams heavy blue tits can lose up to 10 percent of their body weight during a cold night. If the blue tits now have to travel long distances in search of food, the energy is used for the flight and not for storing fat. Especially in areas with a lack of natural food sources, bird lovers can take the birds under their wings during the winter.
Feeding birds in winter always is a very special experience. Watching the grateful picking birds, hearing their noisy singing and nagging, watching their ”queuing“ on the balcony railing or on the roof of the bird house and also the vociferous crowding is definitely enough gratitude for the daily refilling of the food ration. This way kids can build a relation to the local wildlife early in life and can watch birds they would otherwise only know from books.

A few tips at the end: If you use a classic birdhouse, it is important to pay attention to cleanliness. When the birds are walking around, the food is contaminated with feces. Regular cleaning with hot water minimizes pathogens, the food is kept clean and the birds love to return for a visit. An alternative are food dispensers where the birds can easily pick out the food without having to stand on it. If you opt for a winter feeding, keep in mind that the animals quickly get used to a fixed feeding place. Some of them will fly to the feeding station with their last strength. Therefore please always provide enough food. Those who feed the birds regularly, help them to get through the winter well and can see the animals up close. We hope you enjoy it.
