Monsoon and Winter Bird Food Storage Tips
Damp air can spoil seeds and pellets. These bird food storage tips help during monsoon and winter. If food smells or looks off, do not feed it.
Why storage matters
Moisture can make food stale or mouldy. Good storage keeps food fresher for longer.
Airtight containers
Move food from the pack into a clean, dry, airtight container and seal it after each use.
Where to store
Choose a cool, dry shelf away from the stove, sink and windows.
Checking food before feeding
- Look for clumps or dampness.
- Smell for anything musty.
- Discard any food that looks or smells off.
Small packs vs large packs
If you have one or two birds, a smaller pack may finish before it goes stale. CONGO seed mixes come in 900 gm and 1 kg packs. See bird food.
