Many people love to put out bird seed for our feathered friends to see them up close. In the warm summer months, it's a good idea to put out significantly less seed in feeders -- approximately just one day's worth -- since the hot summer sun can "cook" the seed, releasing oils and quickly turning the seed rancid. To keep the birds healthy, use less seed in the summer months and more seed in the cold winter months.
