I live in Labrador Canada, a very very cold climate in winter. Over a week ago I went for a walk along the lake and saw the abundance of food in and on the trees. The little winter birds were jumping from branch to branch eating. And if they were to run out in that area, they will fly to other trees, shrubs and areas. Alot more food out there in nature then you realize. If there is here in -50c weather am sure there is pretty much everywhere there is trees. I see you have plenty of trees in the background. God bless They are cute though I have to agree!😊

There needs to be an abundance of vegetation that provides the seeds, nuts and berries birds need in the winter. Most of suburbia is a monoculture of grass and natural ecosystems are constantly being replaced by developments. A friend of mine is a Master Arborist and he said it used to be when a tree died another was planted but he said the last decade people don't want another tree because they don't want the leaves in their yard! Crazy but true - that's why we need to provide for wildlife as much as we can because there are less and less resources for them.

I love in an apartment, building, second floor. We are not permitted to hang anything from our windows or on the fire escape. However, I place a glass pie pan with bird seed each morning on the fire escape. All I get are a few pigeons and a lot of sparrows and wrens. Every once in a while, a cardinal or a blue jay will stop by. But, as soon as the seed is gone, I will bring in the pie pan. There's a tree directly across from my fire escape. If there are still birds in the tree, I will refill the pie tray. I always make sure to bring the pan in once the birds fly away. Especially in the winter and very cold weather, I feel like I am doing something to help our feathered friends.

I put it close to my neighbors but lower to the ground and sure enough they use it as a nursery every year but none live in it fulltime. The magpies try hard to get at the eggs but can't reach. Sometimes the chicks come out too early and fall to the ground without flying, I pick them up and put them back and they don't seem to mind.

After you mentioned this, we suddenly NOTICED that the small birds indeed DO this, and now we SEE them doing it all the time! And sure enough, THAT'S why we have several woodpeckers of different varieties visiting our property so often. We literally just watched a chickadee deposit seeds on a tree and then moments later, a woodpecker showed up and ate the seeds, then moved on to another tree to hammer away and dig out some bugs from the bark.

Last year I have started bird feeding on my balcony. It was an incredible experience, how birds start observing and interacting with humans. When a new person (to them) was on the balcony, often they came to "inspect" them. Unfortunately, during my summer vacation, nobody has fed them. And they didn't come back, when I started again. I think, there was plenty of food elsewhere. Even now - we haven't had frost so far - they aren't interested. But, in February beside food I will provide animal hair for their nests (human hair is dangerous for them!), I am sure I get back their appreciation that way.

I found a bird stuck head down in a crack in the stump … helped him escape of course but now listening to your video made me realize that possibly what he was trying to do was stash a seed down in the crack and he got stuck!!!

@@StefanSobkowiak Thank you! Yes, I like to see them too. I lost my dog last year, so replaced bird seed for dog food 😉 The bird seed I bout does have sunflower seeds in it. I'll have to try the fruit!

I feed chickadees not hatches three different types of woodpeckers blue Jays have to tip mice Cardinals juncos and whatever else ends up showing up. I've only been on my property for six months and it will be my second permaculture property. I'm happy to say the birds were well established when I got here though there is not a single fruit or not bearing tree on my property

Yet another good reason to feed the birds. My feeders get lots and lots of chickadees, nuthatches, and woodpeckers. Having observed them a lot, I have suspected they help me out, but now you have given me a new strategy for pest control. I guess I will be moving feeders around(except the one my cats like to watch). Great tip on the cardboard wrap. Love it the birds eat from your hand. I'm going to have to work on that one. All I can do is get my chipmunks eating from hand. I do love those chickadees. Thanks for this video. The birds really do bring a lot of joy too.

Growing up in Quebec I would put up nesting boxes and they would always get occupied by black cap chickadees. Our weeping birch was usually attacked by leaf minors except those summers when the chickadees were nesting in our yard.

I feed birds and squirrels from November till the end of May . I go through about 250 pounds of roasted peanuts unsalted and 250 pounds of Kaytee waste free bird feed . That helps them to get through the winter , especially if it’s real cold or snowy .

Ooo, that's a really fun fact. I can't personally do feeding (prohibited by landlord) but I'm trying to make my balcony as bird and bug friendly as possible at least. :)

Hello Stefan. You can see the love for nature and wildlife in your videos. Very enjoyable and interesting to watch, since I am interested in gardening/fruit trees and nature. I see you have Polish surname. Were your ancestors or are you from Poland? :)
