The winter months are a challenging time for birds, with lower temperatures and limited food sources. On this page, you’ll learn how the cold and dark weather affects bird health and welfare, and how you can help birds make it through the winter.
Colder weather means a lot less food and access to running water – there are fewer berries and seeds around, and fewer daylight hours to find them in.
By leaving out food and fresh water for garden birds, or planting native food plants in your garden, you’re helping them to not only build up their energy reserves to stay warm for the cold nights ahead, but also reduce the energy they burn in searching for food.
