The drop in temperatures in April coincides exactly with the main breeding season for many small birds. It is difficult to find food for them and the chicks also suffer from the cold. What you can do in your garden – also against the spread of diseases.
Many people probably find the prolonged cold period unpleasant, especially after summer weather already prevailed in early April. For the local bird world, the temperature drop is not only uncomfortable, but also a special challenge because it falls in the middle of the breeding season.
“The animals can usually survive a cold spell of two to three days. But if the period of bad weather lasts two weeks, as is the case now, things become critical,” says Johanna Kronberger from Birdlife Vorarlberg. If the situation worsens, brooding or raising chicks may even be stopped.
