✨ Save this post so you’re ready for the season, and tag a bird-loving friend to spot the shifts together!

☀️ 5 Surprising Things Birds Do in Summer ☀️
You might think summer birdwatching is all about pretty songs and busy feeders, but there’s a lot more going on.

1️⃣ Dust Baths: Yep… dirt over water. Birds like sparrows and doves roll around in dry soil to keep their feathers clean and get rid of parasites.
2️⃣ Molting Season: Summer = fresh feather time. Birds shed old, worn feathers and grow new ones. They might look a little scruffy for a few weeks, but it’s all part of the glow-up.
3️⃣ Less Singing: As breeding season winds down, birds sing less and rely more on quick calls and chirps.
4️⃣ Feeding Hungry Teens: Even after leaving the nest, fledglings follow their parents around, begging for food with loud wing-flapping and nonstop calls. If you see a tired bird with a noisy shadow, that’s why.
5️⃣ Diet Swaps – Many birds shift from seeds to insects, fruit, and nectar for a protein-packed summer diet
