🌱Need information, pls. I have many Spice Bushes that are dying. They are filled with berries so the plants can reproduce themselves but the migrating birds are not eating those berries. Does that mean said berries have no nutrition in them? TIA

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Black&Red, so here is my good friend the #RedWingedBlackbird enjoying a nice orange background on literal Hallowe'en. He has somehow made his feet extra cute.

Cardinals don't migrate. In winter they stay put and fluff up against the cold, which is why a red bird on a snowy branch is one of the easiest things to spot from a window. #BirdArt #Birding

Dude I've been watching robins going crazy in the arbutus tree next to my office and wondering wtf their issue was.

It was only today that I realized they're all flying in for berries then heading back to their own nests.

I love birds. (even when they make me feel stupid 😂)

The mistle thrush likely got its name from its love of mistletoe - it will defend a berry-laden tree with extreme ferocity!

I love how our garden provides animals with food all year round. Right now our ivy is in bloom and it's absolutely buzzing with all kinds of solitary bees and other winged creatures. Come Winter, it'll be filled with berries, which delight the birds. One pigeon will stop for berries every afternoon!

Today in Baltimore. Pleased with this year's emerging berry set #nativegardening
Berries only beginning to ripen in what is a spectacular fall foliage and winter berry show by the native chokeberry Aronia arbutifolia 'Brilliantissima' The native Viburnum nudum 'Winterthur' produces gorgeous clusters of multi-colored berries that are usually the first to be devoured by birds in late summer early fall Berries only beginning to show color on this American holly, Ilex opaca 'Satyr Hill', a native selection made by the founder of the venerable holly nursery in Parkville, Maryland Winterberries, fruit of the deciduous native shrub Ilex verticilatta, begin to color up in early fall and will be devoured by birds as cooler temperatures challenge and soften the berry tissues

super psyched I got these spicebush berries. they are usually gobbled by the birds before I get to save any for seeds. (Spicebush, a small tree, is enormously valuable to birds as a pre-migration food and it is almost impossible to propagate thru soft or hardwood cuttings)

But here's the secret behind all that red: these birds can't make it themselves.

Red feathers come from carotenoid pigments birds absorb from berries and insects. Unrelated birds all borrowing their colour from lunch.
You really are what you eat. 👇

The Phainopepla is a favorite of mine, with that striking crest, red eye and such a great name. It can consume up to 1,100 mistletoe berries in a day, which pass through its system in just 12 minutes. Yikes. #birds_matter #birds

My fledgling hedge is all out of berries but the robins and various tits in my area still need to be fed throughout winter. They seem to love peanuts. What are your tricks for helping the small birds through the winter?
