Birdfood pie making
It is slowly getting colder again in our country, so again time to spoil the garden birds a little extra. Birds are less likely to find food and make grateful use of everything they can eat in the winter period.
Birds have a hard time keeping their body temperature at 40 degrees in the winter time. Once it's very cold, they lose 10 percent of their weight!
For this purpose, of course, you have several options. Of course, the most famous are a fat ball and peanuts. And, of course, also a seed mixture and fruits. With bird food, you can also make very creative, fun things and, of course, also in collaboration with children. A lot of examples with this can be found in this blog about this:
I do have various types of bird food ready and for the moment also apple leftovers.
But still, I would like to emphasize that it is very important NOT to give the birds bread. Bread is not adapted to their needs, it contains too much salt and bread improvers, which makes them drink more often. From it swells, the breadcrumb can hinder the digestive tract quite a bit, and that's something we certainly don't want.
