Wrong Winter Foods Can Kill Birds: What NOT to Feed Them in Cold Weather

✅ What SHOULD You Feed Winter Birds?

If you really want to help, choose foods that mimic what birds naturally eat and provide high energy:

✔ Unsalted seeds (sunflower seeds are excellent)
✔ Plain, unsalted peanuts
✔ Suet or fat balls (especially important in winter)
✔ Fresh apples or berries (not moldy)
✔ Oats (uncooked and plain)

These foods help birds:

  • Maintain body heat
  • Build fat reserves
  • Survive freezing nights

❤️ A Small Choice Can Save a Life

Feeding birds in winter is a beautiful act — when done correctly. The foods shown in the image are common household leftovers, but for birds, they can be dangerous or deadly.

👉 Remember this simple rule:
If it’s processed, salty, moldy, or cooked — don’t give it to birds.

By choosing the right foods, you’re not just feeding birds —
you’re giving them a fighting chance to survive winter.
