especially in the cold, so it should be ok. Birds do not smell or taste (with two exceptions that I have heard about---Turkey Vultures and some seabird...petrols or shearers). That is why they will suggest pepper spray on bird seed to get rid of squirrels without chasing the birds away, although I have never been tempted to do it for fear of harming the birds in other ways from the hot pepper. That is also why you don't have to worry about a mother bird rejecting a baby if you touch it, since they are not working on scent.
