I have been very concerned about this for many years. I create bird sanctuaries in my yards, and I urge others to do the same, furnishing food and clean water in safety, and fatty food such as suet and peanut butter that will help them survive cold weather. The fat should be dotted with roughage -- grain and seeds -- so they don't choke on it. Avoid rancid seeds and suet (smell it).

We too have tried to make our property as bird friendly as possible but I do wonder if feeing the birds is in the long run a bad thing to do?
