WATSON, Hemlock Hill, Kettleby, Ont. ] Feeding stations help _ birds survive winter It won‘t be long before the birds that winter in these parts will be looking for sources of food for the cold months ahead. An excellent way of bringing pleasure to yourâ€" self and helping our native birds survive the winter, is by putting up feeding stations around your According to the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, lack of aâ€" vailable food, more than the cold, is one of the most important reasâ€" ons for birds moving south from their summer breeding grounds. Their body temperature, about 110 degrees, can be maintained onâ€" ly if they can find large quantities of food not covered by ice and snow. There are many kinds of bird feeders â€" from those fashioned from logs to more expensive modâ€" els that swing with the changing winds. A variety of designs can be found in books in your public liâ€" brary. Regardless of the type of feeder you may put up, there are a few basic points that should be kept in mind for the birds‘ welfare and your enjoyment. Waterloo Chronicle, Thursday, October 15, 1970 576â€"7600 1 If you do not have squirrels comâ€" peting for the food supply, the feedâ€" er could go up in a tree. Where squirrels are about, it is better to set the feeder atop a pole or post with a squirrelâ€"guard a foot or two below it and about four feet above the ground. There should be a tree or tall shrub nearby to which the birds can take cover if threatened by cats or other enemies but the feedâ€" er should not be located so close as to enable the cats or squirrels to jump on to the feeding tray. Most important of all! Once you put out food, make sure that you do it every day. The birds will come to rely on the feeding station and to miss even one day, particâ€" ularly a subâ€"zero or snowy one, could mean their death. If you are going to be away, arrange for a reliable neighbour to stock the feeder. The birds are more likely to come to feeders that look natural and blend with the surroundings. Logs or coconut shells are excelâ€" lent. If you use dressed lumber stain it or paint it a dark color.
