In winter, birds that live far from the city have a hard time - a feeder is needed first and foremost to make their lot easier.

An experienced gardener knows that placing bird feeders is not pure altruism, since the birds will thank the owner of the site in the spring.

If they get used to one place, they will return there even after there is enough food.

Let us pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

Why are there feeders on the site?

If the birds get used to getting food from you, they will fly more often to familiar trees and collect beetles, larvae, midges and other pests.

Many summer residents do not realize what impact birds have on gardens and plants.

Note that if you cannot constantly refill the feeder, it is better not to hang it at all.

For example, tits get used to one feeding place, and it can be quite difficult for them to switch.
