Many birds struggle in January. The cold, rain, and wind make it difficult for birds to find food, and a nice warm place to take shelter can also be useful. In other words, birds could use some assistance during the month of January! The suggestions below will help you see more birds in your garden.

1. Provide food: During the winter, birds require extra food to survive. Fill a bird feeder with seeds, peanuts, or dried fruit.
   

2. Install a drinking bowl: Birds, like humans, require water, especially when the weather is cold. Install a drinking bowl and change the water on a regular basis.

3. Make your garden bird-friendly: Birds will feel more at ease if there are plenty of hiding places and nesting opportunities in your garden. Build a nesting box and plant trees and shrubs.

4. Make no noise: Birds are sensitive to noise and will flee if it is too loud. If you want to attract birds, keep your garden quiet and avoid making noise.

5. Be patient: Birds may take some time to discover your garden. Be patient and continue to provide food and water. Birds will naturally flock to your garden if you do this.
