HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- If you are a first time bird feeder or even a seasoned person who loves to feed birds, this year it is essential to keep the feeders full.
The drought has left its mark on plants that provide food for birds. Remember, however, once you start feeding the birds, you need to keep it going all winter long because your feathered friends will depend on you for a full dinner table.
Before birds take advantage of your feeders, they need to feel secure in the area, which can be provided by the twigs and branches of trees and shrubs.
If you find that your feeder is not being visited as frequently as you would like, consider planting a variety of shrubs on your property. Plants close to your feeder will also help reduce the time birds need to move from their cover to the food.
