Patio Birds Winter



The winter months in New Jersey can sometimes feel a bit bleak. But fear not! Bringing a touch of nature to your apartment patio can brighten even the coldest days. Here are some tips to attract beautiful birds to your outdoor space:






1. Provide Food and Water:

  • Bird Feeders: Invest in a variety of bird feeders, such as tube feeders, platform feeders, and suet feeders. 

  • Birdseed: Offer a mix of seeds, including black oil sunflower seeds, nyjer seed, and suet. You can also try offering cracked corn and peanuts.

  • Fresh Water: Birds need water even in the winter. Provide a heated bird bath or change the water frequently to prevent it from freezing.


2. Create a Welcoming Environment:

  • Shelter: Plant evergreen shrubs or place birdhouses near your feeders to provide shelter from the wind and snow.

  • Avoid Pesticides: Avoid using pesticides in your garden, as they can harm birds.

  • Keep Cats Indoors: Cats are natural predators of birds. Keeping your feline friends indoors during the winter will help protect local bird populations.


3. Winter-Specific Tips:


  • Offer High-Energy Foods: Birds need extra energy to survive the cold. Provide suet, which is a high-fat food source, and consider adding some sunflower hearts to your seed mix.

  • Clean Feeders Regularly: Remove any spoiled food or bird droppings from feeders to prevent the spread of disease.

  • Consider a Heated Bird Bath: A heated bird bath will provide a reliable source of water for birds even when temperatures drop below freezing.


By following these simple tips, you can create a bird-friendly oasis on your Royal Oaks & East Garden patio by attracting a lovely variety of birds and you can enjoy the beauty and sounds of nature throughout the winter months. 


Remember: Observing birds is a wonderful way to connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of the natural world!


Happy bird watching!
