I'm worried about the same thing. My yard birds are so chonky and happy from all of the seeds I'm putting out for them since fall started. I'll stop if it's for their health but it'll break my heart, those little bastards know they can chirp near my door and guilt trip me into coming out to feed them lol.
Work at an Audubon bird of prey center. Baby season was ROUGH this year, so many birds came in sick and many did not make it. >

Is it still safe to be feeding songbirds and whatnot? I kept my feeders out because my state said it was fine and that it was mostly spreading through waterfowl. I'll take them down if needed but the birds seem to really need the food/water as these nasty cold fronts and ice storms keep hitting.
