This year, to the winter feeding of birds in the gardens of the Russian Museum, citizens treated more carefully and competently, compared to last year! Thanks you! All less often the employees of the gardens have to clean the feeders from the food harmful to small birds. And more and more often to observe the correct, healthy assortment of “bird’s cafe”.
In severe frosts, birds eat almost any food that they find in order to constantly maintain the desired temperature of the body and they themselves do not understand can harm their health. That is why it is important to monitor that the food does not contain salty foods – crunches, sunflower seeds, salted bacon. The accumulation of salt in the body of birds causes poisoning and subsequent death.
Sometimes in feeders you can find ordinary millet. In fact, millet is contraindicated to birds, because unlike millet, millet is devoid of shell, which leads to oxidation of fats on its surface and the subsequent appearance of pathogens.
You can not feed the feathered fried, spicy, fatty, sour or spoiled food.
Black fresh bread causes fermentation and curvature of the intestines, so it is also worth abandoning it.
It is important to understand that birds rarely die precisely because of poisoning, but it leads to weakening of the bird’s organism and disease, which in the end can lead to death.
