BIRD MONTH.
August is the month when large numbers of birds die of starvation, because then the cold is usually severe and food scarce. Most birds, however, choose their winter quarters about May, and it therefore behoves the large number of people who now feed birds to attend to their feathered friends regularly. Spasmodic feeding is apt to do more harm than good, because those birds which have chosen to be the guests of your hospitality have to go hungry if neglected. Therefore give your scraps, your, suet, your well sweetened porridge and milk, and such like, regularly.
