A chunk of suet will make you popular with your feathered friends. Firm, white or 
yellow beef suet is ideal. Just tie it to the branches, posts or your feeder, 
BE SURE TO USE STRING! Wire can injure birds and cause their death in winter. 
A bird's damp feet will freeze to metal in temperatures around zero. ijet feathers 
freeze to metal, too, and what might happen to a bird's eye coming in contact with 
wire on a freezing day? Birds also need water. Freezing is best overcome by add-

confidence and will attract more of them te your backyard. Place several dense 
branches on one or two sides of the feeding area if you lack shrubbery,
