Our birds cannot take a break. Especially during the rearing period, they are very busy looking for food, as the need for nutrients is particularly high here. Leading bird experts like Prof. Dr. Berthold have been asking for feeding in the warmer seasons for a long time, when birds need our support.
Bird feeders and drinking troughs should be placed safely away from stray cats so that they are not further stressed.
This works best with hanging versions of feeding stations like those by OPOSSUM design.
