In the USA
February is a very difficult time for wild birds. If they have managed to survive the cold winter months, they still have the possibility of snow, ice, ground frost etc to contend with in February. Without a doubt, their strength has been weakened and to add to their trouble, they are now looking to get amorous!!
And there is more, as Spring is when we see migrating birds return to our countryside. One morning you wake up and all you can hear is the beautiful sound of birdsong. The migration of birds and the whys and wheres is one of the many mysteries and miracles of nature.
One of the most rewarding aspects of having a bird feeder in your garden is the utter delight this brings to the whole family, young and old. Kids adore looking at the various colours and sizes of birds and trying to name them. Why not set up a spot at your window with a book on the different types of birds and get your kids to try spot as many as possible. For reference try this one......About Birds: A Guide for Children
