August Bird Feeding Essentials
August is an important transition month for backyard birds. Many adults are replacing worn feathers, young birds are learning to feed on their own, and hummingbirds are preparing for their southward migration.
Help birds through the final weeks of summer by offering protein and fat-rich foods, keeping feeders clean and well stocked, and providing a dependable source of fresh water.
Foods for Moulting Birds
Growing new feathers requires plenty of protein and fat. FeatherPro® SuperBlend®, peanuts, sunflower chips, mealworms and no-melt suet can provide valuable seasonal nutrition.
Hummingbird Migration
Keep nectar feeders available throughout August for local hummingbirds and early migrants. Clean feeders regularly and replace nectar frequently during warm weather.
Fresh Water for Birds
Birds need water for drinking and bathing, especially while replacing feathers. A clean bird bath can also attract species that may not visit your feeders.
Easy Late-Summer Feeding
No-Mess Blends provide high-quality, shell-free ingredients that birds can eat completely, helping reduce waste and leftover shells beneath your feeders.
