Backyard Bird Health
Wild birds health can be an issue concerning poorly maintained feeders or bird baths, so know what to feed birds, while keeping them well fed and hydrated.
Will ants in Hummingbird feeder hurt the birds
Hummingbirds are unlikely to be physically harmed due to the presence of ants, although hummers can become unwell from contaminated nectar due to ants.
Should Hummingbird food be red
Hummingbird food shouldn't be red because it means possible unsafe food coloring was used; instead the hummingbird feeder bottle must be tinted red.
Do bird feeders increase bird population
Bird feeders are only seen to increase bird population locally while a nationwide effort is required to bring bird species' numbers up to what they once were.
Can bird feeders make you sick
Bird feeders can make people sick as wild birds transfer bacteria on the exterior due to rotten bird food or poop, to which people transfer to their mouths.
Will birds starve if I stop feeding them
Never stop feeding birds come spring or summer during the nesting season, but to stop feeding birds the rest of the year would not lead to starvation.
