added "Mancuniensis" Spring & Summer time feeding comment into the answer
Sep 9, 2011 at 11:26 comment added Mancuniensis +1 for the side note; however, as there are sometimes natural food shortages, spring and summer feeding is now thought to be a good idea, provided foods that could choke the chicks (loose whole peanuts and fat, for instance) are withheld - see rspb.org.uk/advice/helpingbirds/feeding/whentofeed.aspx
Sep 8, 2011 at 13:03 comment added winwaed +1 with the side note. Birds will usually migrate regardless - eg. hummingbirds still migrate even when there are feeders up. Where feeding can be bad is if it is nutritionally poor and/or it is being fed to chicks. Feeding bread to ducklings is a classic example. They fill up but don't get the nutrition they need. For winter food, the RSPB in the UK recommend suet type feeders.
