Especially during the cold season, the birds in the garden house guaranteed the supply of food for woodpeckers, chickadees and Co. A very nutritious food, which is consistent with the habits of the animal world, is an important prerequisite.
Those who opt for setting up a bird house, makes an important service for Mother Nature: If the plant and animal life is passed in hibernation, the food supply for the birds no longer an easy task.
With a few grains in the delivery, it is not done, however: Rather, you should draw the characteristics of all bird species in the food choice. Basically, the birds can be divided in our part of the birds into two groups: the "soft-eaters" (with small, sharp beaks) and the "seed eaters" (with thick, long beak). The latter prefer the winter nuts of all kinds, seeds, and sunflower seeds.
Although soft-eaters can also draw from this menu, but especially love oatmeal, raisins, berries of all colors and pieces of fruit. Especially with the soft-eaters, look for a handy preparation of the food: Cut apples, etc., or you chop it into small pieces.
Grains preferably with a high oil content
Of course, you do not put all of the above types of food into the bird house. Set above all hemp seeds and sunflower seeds. Both involve a lot of oil and are preferred by all granivores across the board. Millet, pumpkin seeds and grains make the nutrients more versatile and are pure luxury for the visitors of your bird house. Do not forget these services with a small water bowl round.
