Helping Birds Survive Winter Doesn't Have to Break the Bank

Hello fellow bird enthusiasts!

This winter is shaping up to be a real challenge for our feathered friends. Spring came early, with everything blooming in mid-May, but then the frost hit hard.

Our rowan, hawthorn, and apple trees are bare, with not a single berry in sight.

I decided to do my part and support our poor birds. I bought a bird feeder and stocked up on high-quality birdseed.

🌾🌾🌾 BIRDSEED FOR WOODLAND AND PARK BIRDS "EVERYTHING SIMPLE" 🌾🌾🌾

INFO:

Weight: 1kg; 3kg.

Manufactured in: Russia.

Product code on OZON: 1097032353

Price at the time of purchase: 470 rubles for 3kg.

I opted for the larger 3kg bottle, so I'd have enough seed to last a while.

PACKAGING:

The seed is packed in a plastic container with a wide mouth. The plastic is soft and pliable, but the lid is initially sealed very tightly.

You'll need some serious grip or a sharp knife to open it. I used the latter - took a knife and carefully cut the plastic clips holding the lid in place. The lid opened, and now it twists off easily.The bottle has a label with information and ingredients.

Corn, oats, millet, barley, wheat, sunflower, mustard, and rapeseed.

It's essentially a mix of different seeds and grains that are beneficial for birds. I checked the tables online to make sure I was giving my birds the right ration.

Let's be real, you shouldn't feed your birds just any old grains or table scraps. There are even special tables online that show you the right bird ration.

So, I decided not to take any chances and bought a pre-mixed seed blend with a balanced formula after checking the tables. I definitely don't want to harm my birds.

Mostly, this mix is made up of sunflower seeds and field grain. Before pouring the food into the feeder, I even tasted a few seeds to make sure they weren't rancid.

The birds loved this food, they're cleaning their plates spotless. However, I'm not adding any extras. Wild birds are not domesticated chickens, after all. They shouldn't get out of practice finding their own food.

I'm refilling the feeder about twice a week. When it gets really cold, I'll do it a bit more often.

I've been lucky enough to have some feathered friends visiting my feeder - sparrows and robins. Both of them love the food, and I've noticed that the sparrows are happy to chow down right in the feeder, while the robins are a bit more refined, taking one seed at a time and flying off with their prize.Watching them is a real treat, and if you've got kids, I'm sure they'll be just as fascinated.My little furballs are also interested in the action, but unfortunately, they can't join in - the feeder is safely out of reach on a high branch.THE BOTTOM LINE:

We highly recommend the All PROSTO bird food! The birds love it, and it's got a completely natural, balanced formula. Plus, it's great value for money. It's definitely worth the cost.

Thanks for reading!
