After reading how wild birds have been losing mass due to loss of their food sources, I have been feeding them thru the Winter here in NJ, USA, using bags of grocery store birdseed. My thinking was that I would continue until they could feed on their own in Spring. It is now 50-60 F here in the daytime, and there seems little likelihood of frost. The birds seem to be less enthusiastic about the feeder, and are draining it much more slowly.
When is it an appropriate time to stop filling the bird feeder? I am concerned I have created dependency among the birds.
