My yellow-throated warbler, Spike, needs your help.

If your birdbath is frozen, please de-ice it and fill with fresh water. Repeat as it freezes. Your backyard birds will thank you.

  1. The birdseed that I put out this morning is going fast….did not take long for it to be discovered. Will go put out some water too. Thanks for the tip.

  2. Nice suggestion. We have a non-frozen water source, thank goodness. Of course, now my husband is out there putting out more seed because I mentioned it. Cold day for the birdies!

  3. Thanks for the reminder Nancy. I went out and broke the ice on the fountain while my SigO looked at me like a mad man wearing a hoodie, crocks and using my broom handle smashing stick (he even took sneaky video). Went to refill the birdseed only to realize I was out. Sorry fine feathered friends. I’ll plan ahead next time.

  4. If you have peanut butter, slather some on the trunks of your trees.
