Never Put These 9 Kitchen Scraps Out for Birds (Number 4 Is in Almost Every Backyard)

I share nine common kitchen scraps I would never put out for birds—starting with bacon grease and meat drippings that can ruin feathers, spoil quickly, and expose birds to harmful salt and bacteria. I also reveal the everyday backyard favorite hiding at number four, and explain why a well-meant snack can sometimes do more harm than good. I cover the risks of salty foods, bread, moldy seed, dried shredded coconut, avocado and fruit pits, and honey in hummingbird feeders. I also share safer foods I’m comfortable offering to backyard birds so I can support them without putting their health at risk. 0:00 Kitchen scraps that harm birds 0:47 Bacon grease and meat drippings 1:48 Salty snacks and peanuts 4:10 Why bread is risky 5:36 Moldy food and seed 6:07 Dried shredded coconut 6:39 Toxic avocado and fruit pits 8:07 Honey in hummingbird feeders 8:36 Safer foods for backyard birds #BackyardBirds #BirdFeeding #BirdSafety #BirdWatching #WildlifeCare
