The Impact of Cicadas on Feeding Stations
Without a doubt our feeding stations were very quiet in the month of May due in part to the emergence of the two species of Cicadas. During a month where we would typically sell approximately 8,000 lbs. of seed per week it was closer to 5,000 lbs. As much as we disliked the impact of the Cicadas it very much dispels the myth that birds become dependent on our feeders. Birds always take advantage of available natural food sources and Cicadas certainly were that. That’s why our feeders get so quiet for a couple of months in the fall as plants and trees produce seeds, nuts and fruit. The Cicadas provided ample amounts of protein helpful in raising babies. Now that the Cicadas have mostly disappeared we may see an uptick at feeders, seed and suet.
