Good day dear Hive community, first of all I would like to welcome you all to my new post and hope you are all well and your day was full of exciting experiences! Today I would like to present some pictures and discuss an important topic.
You can see here a bird that is eating fat balls and in the past I have already discussed this topic and it is a great opportunity to provide food for the birds in winter. It very is important to mention that usually these balls are offered in a net, but in the best case, you should make sure that you choose some without because the birds can quickly hang themselves in it and this can lead to problems and can have a negative effect on the health of the birds, fat balls remain stable without a net for a very long time and do not crumble so quickly and in addition it is much more environmentally friendly. Often the net remains hanging at its location long after the food has already been eaten, which brings an additional danger and there are special devices in which you can pack the fat balls without problems, which you can then easily hang up and depending on the manufacturer, between 4 to 20 balls fit in there and especially in winter when the food is often out, it doesn't take long before I have to change it again. Especially in winter, this is a perfect way to make something for nature. They have a long shelf life and can be stored for years and it is very important to always pay attention to the quality and the ingredients can vary depending on the manufacturer and it often contains numerous nutrients such as fats, cereals, minerals and others so that the birds get through the winter well. Especially during the cool seasons, it is extremely important to support birds and it is very important for the ecosystem and can make a great contribution to biodiversity and also make it interesting to feed wild birds.
Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about nature! I captured all these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens!
