TOP 10 Reasons to Care For Wild Birds this Winter –from a Birds’ eye view:
10. Have YOU ever tried bathing in the snow?
9. Spring is HOW far away?

7. It’s not like we’re asking for steak & potatoes – just seeds would be fine (plus some heated water)
6. We don’t have fur coats like our other outdoor companions
5. You think we LIKE those stupid unheated houses with one little hole & no windows?
4. We’re your feathered friends!
3. How would YOU like to go months without mating?
2. You think YOU hate cats!
1. It’s still politically correct & you’ll be a better person for caring about us.
