They rarely actually need our help, even in the dead of winter, but who can deny the appeal of attracting birds to a backyard feeder? If you have a favourite wintertime species, you can attract them with a specific menu. If our feathered friends could talk, here’s what they would order:

** Fruits could include raisins, currants, bananas, orange and grapefruit sections, chopped apples
