Summer Bird Feeding: More Birds, More Joy
Think summer isn’t bird feeding season? Think again! Summer is actually the most bird-populated season in much of North America—and feeders play an important role.
Birds like goldfinches, bluebirds, and cardinals nest well into late summer, and many species rely on protein- and fat-rich foods to fuel molting (that’s when they replace their feathers). Keeping your feeders full helps birds thrive—and gives you front-row seats to vibrant summer visitors like hummingbirds, orioles, and baby birds learning the ropes.
Give your backyard birds the support they need with our Wild Birds Unlimited Nesting SuperBlend® foods—packed with protein, fat, and calcium for nesting and molting season.
For more information, be sure to check out the WBU Nature Centered Podcast episode, “Don’t stop now! The Perks of Summer Bird Feeding.” Our entertaining hosts, John and Brian, will walk you through how to attract the widest variety of birds to your backyard this summer.
