It’s time to start winter feeding the birds – you can’t set up the birdhouse anywhere

Winter feeding of birds must be organized in the Urban Area so that it does not attract, for example, rats. Illustration image.

For example, in Hämeenlinna, birds can only be fed in the site plan area if the property owner allows it.

The winter feeding season for birds is beginning. Birdlife Finland recommends that winter feeding starts when the ground freezes or is covered with snow. However, birds may not be fed anywhere.

For example, according to the health protection order of Hämeenlinna and Hattula, feeding birds is allowed in the site plan area only with the permission of the owner of the property or area. To feed the birds on the balconies, you need the consent of the housing association.

Pests must not enter the feeding area, and feeding must be stopped if it causes harm, such as the reproduction of rats.
