The Humane Society of the United States says it's easy for us to help our feathered friends this spring with a few easy seasonal tips. If you have bird feeders at home, hang them where they gather (far away from windows) and away from where predators might be hiding (near brush piles, for example). Mix in crushed eggshells with birdseed and offer nesting materials like clean human hair clippings, pet fur and even bits of natural twine and yarn. Never add bread -- it has no nutritional value for birds and can quickly mold.
