Just because the plants in your garden are slowing down in fall, it doesn't mean it's time to retreat indoors, shut the door, and neglect garden wildlife until spring. That's why I've been searching for ways to continue helping birds over the next few months, including hunting down the best bird feeders for fall and winter.

There are lots of ways to help garden birds in winter, but providing the right vessel for them to eat from is key. Some bird feeders aren't built to withstand the harshest weather, and birds won't have much luck using them during the coldest months. Luckily, I've discovered some of the best bird feeders for this time of year.

All of these bird feeders will help to feed birds in winter while looking great hanging from bare tree branches in your yard. They're practical for colder days and have seasonal designs that add interest to the fall garden and winter landscape.


Bird feeders for fall and winter aren't the only way to support feathered friends during the coldest months. You should also keep on top of bird bath winter care, including stopping your bird bath freezing and keeping it clean.
