Many people make feeding birds a regular habit, however, what they don’t know is that a piece of backyard suet may actually hold hidden risks for these animals.
To avoid these potential risks, here are some things that you can do.
Research the favorite foods of the species that you want to attract.
Completely scrub out feeders with a 10 percent non-chlorinated bleach solution at least a few times a year.
Clean up bird seed mixtures in the winter or rake them out when the conditions are drier.
