According to ornithologists, 8 out of 10 Tits die of starvation in cold winters. Feeders and feeding grounds allow you to save more than half of the birds. It is especially difficult for birds to look for food during heavy snowfalls and frosts.
Urban birds: ducks, pigeons, and sparrows are sedentary synanthropes. Searching for natural food will not allow them to survive the winter on their own. They either search for waste in landfills or feed in public places.

The feed must contain proteins, fats, carbohydrates, as well as minerals and vitamins. Under optimal conditions (which is not always the case), mineral salts can be contained in sufficient quantities in water and soil. All other components of fish are obtained with food (animal or vegetable origin). Continue reading
