-->“Bad weather like blizzards and ice storms can make it very difficult to find food,
And the frigid cold can take a heavy toll on them.”

Sally Roth, Author of The Backyard Bird Feeder’s Bible


Music: Color of The Wind


I step out into my frozen yard at dawn
And there they both are, singing to me
My resident pair of gorgeous Cardinals
Always together, out here in my icy trees

For their lovely dawn concert, I now feed them
Some berries, and sunflower, and thistle seeds
They are cold, and hungry, and they need food
Helping the birds in winter, is always a joy for me

Besides being ‘Pet Spay and Neuter Month’
February is also ‘National Bird Feeding Month’
Our wondrous wild birds need our help in winter
And helping them to survive it, doesn’t take much

I can’t imagine our planet, without the wild birds on it
Yet, so many bird species, are suffering losses today
Please do what you can, to help them survive February
If you do, a choir of newborns will sing to you come May
