The birds have had it easy all winter, thanks to gardeners who have set out bird food in bird feeders. Day after day, birds have flocked to gardens to get a taste of food; but now that Spring is around the corner, we urge gardeners to stop feeding birds.

But, why?

Birds keep coming back to gardens; and soon enough, they will swoop down on fresh fruits and berries. To protect fruit gardens, DeerbustersCanada encourages home growers to use bird netting on bushes to protect fruits. Bird Netting is easy to handle and can be used throughout the year. 

If growers insist on feeding the birds throughout the Spring season, it's best to keep the bird feeders away from fruit gardens.
