Celebrate National Bird Feeding Month in February
Cupid isn’t the only winged object that people need to watch out for this month. In 1994, the United States Congress proclaimed February to be National Bird Feeding Month.
Backyard bird feeding is enjoyed by more than 81 million North Americans. And while February is National Wild Bird Feeding Month, with the right provisions, people can enjoy a wide variety of backyard birds all year long.
Wild Birds Unlimited is proud to be a founding and major sponsor of the Great Backyard Bird Count, a joint project between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society, which also occurs this month. Individuals, families, schools and organizations are invited to count birds at bird feeders and in backyards, local parks or other locations. Those tallies are then reported online. This data helps define bird ranges, populations, migration pathways and habitat needs.
The count is fun, easy, and an important way you can help #SaveTheSongBirds. It’s also a terrific way for Cornell and Audubon to learn more about the abundance and distribution of bird species.
Stop by the store and let us show you how you can attract feathered friends to your backyard! It's a fun thing to do, and a great way to celebrate National Bird Feeding Month.
