Autumn brings on bird feeding
time more many local residents
Fall bird feeding is an inter
esting, transitional time. Mi
grating species leave and join
us, causing both backyard
scenes and food consumption
patterns to change.
Migrating geese noisily an
nounce their departure over
head. Swallows first cluster in
trees or on telephone lines,
then begin their trip to the
southern hemisphere. Western
Tanagers, Rufous Humming
birds and Vaux Swifts leave for
warmer environs.
The ruckus of House Finch
es at thistle and sunflower
feeders gives way to the ag
gressiveness of Pine Siskins.
Evening Grosbeaks timidly re
turn for an occasional sun
flower seed feast.
Millet consumption increas
es in the fall as sparrow popu
lations return from nesting
Suet is an energy-
rich food for birds
Small birds eat a third of
their body weight in food each
day, and spend nine-tenths of
their waking hours feeding
They’re like little wood stoves,
crammed full of firewood and
blasting out heat all day long.
Food passes through a
bird’s digestive system in
about 15 minutes. Energy not
used immediately is converted
to fat deposits which fuel the
bird through the night.
Suet is a key energy-rich
bird food, made of rendered
beef fat and a variety of
“fillers”, like peanuts, blueber
ries, almonds, even insects.
Suet cakes, are designed to
attract backyard birds.
