		<description>Thanks for this information!  I feed many kinds of birds, squirrels and chipmunks different types of food for each species. I love them all and they are like my pets. They get really excited in the morning when I go out to feed them. I love it when the woodpeckers feed their babies off my suit feeder. I am wondering if my chipmunks and squirrels will be fine too. They  are accustomed to eating from the feeders sense they were babies. We will eventually move from our home and I worry about all my chipmunks and squirrels. Do you think they will be ok too?</description>

		<description>The birds will be fine if you stop feeding them during the winter. There have been scientific studies done to prove any species of bird does not totally rely on bird feeders for their diet. Feed your chickadees, blue jays, nuthatches and any other birds to stop at your feeder without feeling guilty if you must leave for a while.

When you come back and start feeding, it may take a little while for the birds to find you again, but they will come back.

Hope this helps you. If you have other questions, please ask us. We love talking about birds.</description>

		<description>Thank you so much for this helpful information.  I may be leaving in the dead of winter and so have stopped feeding the chickadees who come every day.  Is it correct to assume that they won&#039;t starve or suffer if indeed I need to leave in mid-winter.  And do you think this is true of blue jays and nuthatches as well?  
 Peace to you,
