Fall checklist for our bird-loving friends!

 

Feeders:

- Add more feeders to attract a variety of birds to your backyard.

- Clean and repair feeders regularly to provide a clean and safe eating area for your birds.

- Rake up and dispose of any debris beneath feeders to avoid unwanted guests.

 

Nutrition:
