The Christmas Tree Farmers of Ontario suggest placing real Christmas trees in a backyard or garden, where it will provide winter shelter for birds.

They also suggest ‘decorating’ the tree with treats for birds and other wildlife such as orange slices, peanut butter spread on seed cones, or suet balls stuffed with sunflower seeds.
