Most birds leave us when it gets cooler and migrate to their wintering grounds. They often cover several thousand kilometers, crossing mountains, seas and deserts. Some even travel from pole to pole and even fly over the Himalayas. Why do they do this and where exactly do they stay? Others, however, defy our uncomfortable temperatures. Instead of hibernating like mammals, they stay awake and mobile. How do they survive the cold and what do they eat when there are no more berries and seeds on the plants or worms in the frozen ground? They certainly don't have it easy. Foraging becomes a challenge. Why don't they fly away too? Of course, extra portions in the birdhouse help them get through the winter. But they don't really need them. They are inventive enough to survive the winter and there are a few things to consider when feeding them to ensure that the birds have a good winter with us.
