Ornithologists warn
In essence, according to ornithologists, the rule is that even in winter, even in winter it is quite well enough and human intervention is favorable only when temperatures drop below -20 degrees Celsius. It is hard to recall such frosts in recent years. However, if you decide to feed, you need to do it properly. Never give birds any moldy pastries, salt or sweets.
Leave the feeder occasionally empty so that the birds try to seek food themselves. Once a week, wash the feeder with hot water and if the situation permits, invest in a wood feeder instead of making it from a plastic bottle, because sharp edges after trimming could hurt the birds.
