World Vegan Month Tip #17

In the colder months, don't forget that the birds outdoors still need food and water, now more than ever. Mixed birdseed tends to have a lot of filler most avoid, but black oil sunflower seeds and safflower seeds are favorites of many varieties of birds. Keep a supply of fresh water available - eating snow for water requires too much precious energy - either by pouring hot water over an icy birdbath or, for a bird lover's splurge, a heated bird bath.
