Bird-Feeding Month on February, 2025: Feeding Month - Why won't my birds feed their babies?

February, 2025 is Bird-Feeding Month 2025. February is National Bird-Feeding Month! The National Bird-Feeding

Bird Feeding Month aims to boost understanding of the requirements of our little feathered buddies and them going before the spring weather takes over. Throughout the cold winter several weeks, wild wild birds have greater difficulty finding food to sustain themselves. Small, backyard wild birds do not have body body fat stores to ensure that they're studying the winter and thus need frequent feeding.Food supplies are low because of the lower plant life, insufficient bugs and also the sometimes frozen ground. Assist them by hanging tasty goodies for example bird bird feeders full of appropriate seed products, or suet and seed filled containers. Appropriate food is going to be obtainable in local pet stores and also the store assistants should have the ability to give suggestions about selecting the best food for wild birds within the locality. When the bird feeders are up, hrs of enjoyment can be purchased from backyard bird-recognizing awaiting spring.

If your birds are only one year old you should not be breeding from them. they need to be at least 18 months, at 12 months they are much too young.

Also you may not be feeding the parents a good diet, for themselves and the chicks.

Your birds need a good seed diet supplemented with green food such as Broccoli. Kale . Celery. Sweet Corn Cob and best of all soaked sprouting seed.

To do this soak some of their seed with an addition of a little extra small Sunflower and a Little Hemp, in warm water overnight, drain rinse, place somewhere warm till it sprouts (2-3 days).rinse and feed throughout the breeding season and until any young are feeding themselves.

Pattot like such as Cockatiels rear their young on a mix of dried seed and green veg, this is a mistake often made by new breeders.

Please go out and buy a book on Cockatiel breeding and their care and you will have more success

Birds feeding habits?

Rainy; The authoritative bodies have long since been asking us to feed year round. The reasoning being that whilst birds can use our support in the shorter and colder days, so in the warmer weather they're busy raising their young. And those young demand mega amounts of insects.

So, the adults are racing around, desperately trying to find enough insects for the young. That leaves less time for them to find their own food. That's where we come in by providing a regular and accessible source of adult birds feed.

And, right about now, many young birds will be changing to an adult diet. Thus they too will appreciate our efforts to help them keep going, into the shorter and colder days.

What I would add is to be sure and shake that feeder. Make sure what's left hasn't got a spot of damp and clumped hard. If so, get it out and dispose of it before refiling with fresh feed.

Always ensure ye feeders are clean.
