Prepare Your Bird Feeders

Bird Feeder

Still, it is not too early to get bird feeders out, cleaned and hung up. In fact, there may be a reason to do so even if feeders should remain empty for a few more weeks. I read somewhere that birds notice when feeders are put up in the fall, even if they don't have seed in them. Apparently birds plan in advance where they are going to eat when food becomes scare. This is something I am not sure I give birds credit for, but if bears can remember where feeders are, why not birds?

Time is now to hang bird feeders -- but don't fill them yet
