Ingenious! in Using Your Christmas Tree for the Birds

Instead of throwing out that Christmas Tree, lay it down underneath your bird feeder. It will provide cover for those birds that don't migrate and feed at the feeders throughout the winter. They can make a quick dash into the tree for cover when hungry hawks fly overhead.

So simple only a genius could have thought of it.

Well, I have to confess that I wasn't the genius who thought of it.

I did this the last time we had a real tree and the birds loved it!!

Great idea. I also put mine out and hang treats for the wildlife on it.

That's a good idea too Ginger! You should post a tip about that.

Very good idea! What a great way to provide a habitat for the birds.

I'm glad you guys like the idea.

When spring comes, you can cut the tree up & put it in the compost pile.
