When should bird feeders be brought in for the winter?

Bird feeders should typically be brought in for the winter when temperatures consistently drop below freezing and when snow begins to fall, as these conditions can attract unwanted pests and make maintenance challenging. However, if you're in an area where birds continue to visit throughout winter, it's beneficial to keep feeders out to provide them with a reliable food source. It's important to regularly clean and refill the feeders to support the birds during harsh weather.
