Bird Feeder

Today is National Feed The Birds Day - so I thought I would photograph my bird feeder.


History of Feed the Birds Day 
First established in 2016 by Bob Matthews from Rochester, New York, Feed the Birds Day is celebrated annually as part of National Bird Feeding Month, which occurs every February. 

National Bird Feeding Month has a much longer history, dating back to 1994 when a concerned citizen named John Porter read a resolution into the US Congressional record in defense of the birds. These efforts to stand up for the creatures of the sky have made a difference in the lives of these little animals in backyards worldwide. 

While the effort of Feed the Birds Day is to encourage people to engage in bird feeding on the day, the hope is that everyone will use this day to launch a habit that will last several months into the spring. This kind of daily feeding will help keep those birds happy and thriving until the weather gets warmer and they can function on their own in the backyard! 
Feed the Birds Day is here to raise awareness and act as a reminder that the birds need a bit of help from their human friends in the cold winter months. Show appreciation to these little ones by celebrating the day.
