Winter can be a dreary sad time for your garden. One of the easiest way to add color and activity to your garden in the cold months of winter is to add a bird feeder.
Giving your feathered friends a treat not only helps them on their journey but adds a flutter of color to your yard as they fly south. Imagine the delight as a red cardinal or Stelar jay stop by to partake of your seeded treats.
Be sure to stock your feeder with a high quality bird seed. Also make sure to use your feeder year after year. Birds will make a habit of visiting your yard for their favorite treats. Their visit will soon become your treat as you look forward to their colorful winter visits.
You can pick a feeder that suits your personality and helps out mother nature. Bird Feeds come in all sorts of designs from the classic house to more elaborate. You can even go seasonal with your feeders and houses by picking this Gingerbread House.

In college, my roomie was an avid environmentalist. She made her own bird feeder, which was very simple in design. We always had such lovely birds. The only problem was all of the squirrels that came with them!
