This winter has been quite unusual for me. I left the Goldfinch feeders =
up and have had a great number of Goldfinches wintering over and coming =
every day. So many that I recently increased the feeders to 8. Of =
course, this brought in more birds. The last couple of days has seen an =
influx of Pine Siskens and Redpolls. I am sure I had well over 100 =
birds around today and yesterday. =20
I am concerned that with so many birds, they are coming dependent on the =
feeders. That is fine, but with so many birds competing for food, I am =
afraid all will not be able to sustain. Is what I am doing detrimental =
to the birds health and welfare?
