National Bird Feeding Month is celebrated every February and serves as a reminder to provide food for wild birds during the harsh winter months. Established by John Porter, it emphasizes the importance of supporting birds as they return from their migrations. Many people across the United States participate by filling bird feeders with seeds, such as sunflower seeds, to attract various species. This initiative not only helps birds survive but also enhances the experience of observing them in backyards. Additionally, it encourages individuals to ensure feeders are safe from predators like cats, promoting a compassionate approach to bird feeding. The month is recognized for its role in fostering a connection between people and nature, as well as highlighting the ecological significance of birds.
