❄️ GUIDE: 4 Things You Throw Away That Winter Birds Actually Need

Feeding birds in winter isn’t just kind —
in the U.S. and Canada, it can literally save their lives.

Here are four everyday “trash” items that become lifesavers during freezing weather 👇

---

1️⃣ Crushed Eggshells — Calcium Booster

Birds (especially females) need calcium to keep their bones and eggshells strong.

How to use:

Rinse shells

Bake 10 minutes at 250°F (kills bacteria)

Crush into small flakes

Mix into seed or scatter on the ground

Helps: robins, blue jays, cardinals, chickadees

---

2️⃣ Apple Cores — Winter Energy

Birds burn huge amounts of calories staying warm.
Fruit sugars = fast energy.

How to use:

Cut apple cores into chunks

Place on feeders or toss under trees

Helps: waxwings, robins, woodpeckers

---

3️⃣ Orange Peels — Natural Suet Cups

Most people throw away citrus peels…
but they make perfect refillable suet bowls.

How to use:

Scoop out the inside

Fill with suet, peanut butter mix, or seeds

Hang by string or place on a branch

Helps: chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers

---

4️⃣ Stale Nuts — High-Fat Winter Fuel

Peanuts, almonds, pecans — even if stale — are powerful winter calories.

How to use:

Crush lightly

Offer in feeders or scatter on snow

Helps: jays, woodpeckers, nuthatches, squirrels

---

❄️ Why This Works

Winter birds need:
✔ fat
✔ quick sugars
✔ calcium
✔ protein
✔ clean water

And you already have most of it in your kitchen “trash.”

When you bring us an orphan, we don’t feed them immediately.

We get their body temperature to a species and age appropriate temperature.

We assess them for injuries and follow a road map of protocols for that specific patient.

We hydrate them to prepare their digestive systems for nutritional breakdown and absorption.

We slowly introduce formula to decrease adverse reactions like diarrhea (deadly) and bloat (deadly).

When we say please don’t give water or food, it’s because it is more often than not harmful rather than helpful.

Please help us help them by refraining from giving water or food when you find an injured, sick, or orphaned animal.

The top left is a healthy orphan indicated by the pink nose and hands. The top right is a very sick baby with sunken in eyes and more of a grey-blue color due to severe lack of oxygen. The bottom left is alert but has missing fur on the nose due to malnourishment. The baby on the top right died shortly after arriving despite our best efforts which included oxygen therapy.

It is disturbing that reminders are required to encourage individuals to safeguard their black cats and keep them indoors on Halloween, yet this reminder is crucial for those who have not thought about the importance of this precaution. Sadly there are too many evil people in this world and it is better to be safe than sorry. 🎃

Heads up! You may see these green, brown, or black pod-like balls on the ground in your neighborhood at this time of the year. They are nuts from black walnut trees. The picture shows black walnuts in various sizes and stages of maturity and decay. Every part of a black walnut tree (nuts, shells, leaves, and wood) is highly toxic to dogs. The initial symptoms of black walnut poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and loss of appetite, followed by tremors, seizures, and jaundice. The toxins in black walnut trees can be fatal to dogs if not treated promptly. Do not attempt to use any home remedies if your dog has ingested black walnut. Time is of the essence--get your dog to a vet immediately. (More info in the comments.)
