I just learned that you should leave these two $1 fruits on bird tables in May – but there is one important warning you shouldn't ignore

Birds eating at an ideal bird feeder.

Feeding birds is a pastime many gardeners enjoy, encouraging feathered friends in the backyard. While the usual diet of seed mixes provides healthy nutrition for birds, you can also give them an occasional treat for a boost of nutrients. Apples and pears for birds, for example, are a juicy snack full of vitamins to support their overall health.

So, if you're keen to help garden birds in summer, consider putting out some fruit. Although, you should be aware that there are some words of warning when it comes to apples and pears for birds. In particular, you need to be aware of how these fruits should be served to the birds in your yard, in order to avoid causing more harm than good.
