Where I live in Canada, it is generally seen as a non-invasive practice to have bird feeders out for the winter. Pickings can often be slim, but we need the birds to survive so that they can play an active part in the ecosystem come spring.

Not everyone does it, just some people - most people don't want to waste the cash on the feed, and you have to make sure you get the right stuff so that it's good for the birds and also not going to sprout some weird invasive species.
