BACKYARD BIRDING TIPS
Many people worry about what will happen to their backyard visitors when they go on vacation. Ideally, a neighbor or friend should stop by to restock your feeder. Otherwise, try to taper off gradually before you go. But don't fret, it's fine to stop feeding briefly. Studies show that even birds with full access to feeders consume three-quarters of their diet elsewhere, and that when feeder birds are deprived of supplemental food, they quickly revert to an all- natural diet. If your neighbors have feeders too, you can rest even more assured that your birds will not starve.
