Offer the right foods during molting season and help birds as they replace their fallen feathers.
Feathers are amazingly tough, but they do wear out and need to be replaced. Most adult song birds molt (shed) and replace their feathers once a year. Be sure to keep your feeders well-stocked with the high-fat and high-protein foods that will help them grow new feathers.
Provide high energy foods:
- Suet
- Bark Butter
- mealworms
- peanuts or tree nuts
