(NC)-Like the thought of birds visiting your back yard all winter long but don’t want to fuss with refilling feeders in cold weather? When it comes to bird feeding, there are plenty of convenient options, including ready to hang socks, treats and suet bars, so you needn’t spend a lot of money or time and you can still enjoy nature’s feathered friends all year long.

With a much more limited food supply available during the winter, you can be sure to attract birds to your backyard when you put out seeds and treats. 43 per cent of Canadians feed the birds at some point during the year, but you may be surprised to learn that more than half of those households feed all year long.

“Bird feeding is a great pastime to share with children and helps to give them an appreciation of nature and the outdoors at a time when most of us are focused indoors,” says Kathy Russell, bird food expert at Scotts Canada. “It’s easy, affordable and a rewarding way to add natural beauty to your winter garden.”

Look for the Morning Song line of ready to hang treats and seed blocks, including:

. Ready to use Seed Bell

. Woodpecker Snack

. Bird Watchers’ Blend

. Snack & Feeder Combo

. Bar and Basket Combo

. Goldfinch Thistle Sock and Super Sock

. Suets including Year-Round, Woodpecker, Nutty Safari, Berry and Raisin Crunch
