As wintertime approaches, we start to think about what we can do to help the local wildlife survive the winter months. Winter can be an especially hard time on birds. As warm blooded animals, they will need more nourishment and just raw calories to help keep warm. But as the local vegetation and insect population dies back, and in many cases is covered by snow, it becomes that much harder for the birds to find.
It may be time to consider a bird feeder of some sort, or something esthetically pleasing like decorative suet bird feeders. So, what is suet and why would you consider it for your bird feeders in the winter months?
