Birdwatcher’s Digest reports that increased supplemental feeding (birdfeeders) during cool weather leads to greater nesting success
(more baby birds) the following spring. Just make sure you use FRESH seed and
fresh suet.
Sleepy time During cool weather, at night, birds conserve
energy and warmth by putting themselves into a state similar to hypothermia,
which slows down their breathing, heartbeat and metabolism. Thus saving their
energy.
