Why is Caching Important?

Chickadees, Nuthactches, Titmice, Jays and Woodpeckers are among some of the birds that naturally cache food. This helps them prepare for the Winter by having stores of berries, seeds, insects and nuts according to the types of food they eat. Some birds cache food long-term, while others cache food for only a few hours up to a day. Longer-term caching birds like to cache in the Fall for their Winter supply, while others will continue to cache throughout the Winter from your feeder, making now a perfect time for you to help the birds caching now, and grow your own supply with a discount for when more birds are caching in the Winter!

What types of food should you cache for the birds?

Many types of birds enjoy caching seeds they can find at your feeder!

  • Tufted Titmice, for example, like to cache the largest Sunflower Seeds they can find. 
  • Some Nuthatches tend to prefer Sunflower Seeds already out of the shell, likely due to transportation convenience. They typically gather their food to cache in the morning
  • Some Jays like to gather peanuts to cache

How Can You Help keep the Birds Safer and Healthier?

Birds face many perils during migration, but there are several things you can do to help save the songbirds! Providing a good food source and turning off non-essential lights are two important ways. For October, we are focusing on making windows safer for birds, to prevent bird strikes.
