Book Review of Hand-Feeding Backyard Birds: A Step-By-Step Guide

Hand-Feeding Backyard Birds: A Step-By-Step Guide
Norsecross avatar reviewed on + 27 more book reviews


This is a lovely book, glossy pages, clear photos. The text is easy to follow and even encouraging in a folksy way. Patience is required to hand feed, but living in New England is likely the best indicator of success. As a Southern Californian my chances of utilizing the bulk of information is scant. The optimal times to hand-feed are 24 hours after a severe ice storm, with 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. So you East Coasters, you will love this book as is predominately aimed at you. I will give the novelty of hand feeding as coached by Mr.Wiberg an attempt with local mocking birds,since we in So.Cal are clean out of Chickadees, Nuthatches and seriously cold weather.
