According to the Humane Society of the United States, one of the best ways to help wildlife thrive in the cold winter months is to lay off doing any cleanups in your garden. Dead flower stalks, leaves and seed heads are food to birds and other small critters. Dead flowers like black-eyed Susans, marigolds, cosmos, phlox and sunflowers are delicious food to birds -- especially when blankets of snow have covered everything on the ground.
