Green Christmas Gifts for Critters and Yourself
SUMMARY: Feeding wildlife can be enjoyable, but it’s important to remember that many animals can find their own food and may become dependent on human assistance. Instead of feeding them directly, consider planting native plants that provide natural food sources like fruits, seeds, and insects. Examples include Wax Myrtle, Yaupon Holly, and American Beautyberry. For nectar-feeding birds, try Coral Honeysuckle or Red Buckeye. Creating a no-mow zone, brush piles, and other habitats can also provide shelter and food. While occasional feeding is fine, avoid processed foods, and opt for natural options like nuts for squirrels and fruits for turtles.
