 Welcome to a Home for Wild Birds
Would you believe that just one person (or family) attracting wild birds with bird feeders and houses in their yard can
help bring nature back into balance?This is possible because everything in nature is connected and important to the circle of life. Many types of birds have lost their natural habitats to urban development. Concrete and asphault now cover what used to be thriving wild bird habitats. Studies have shown that loss of natural habitat has had a negative impact on bird populations. So how can feeding wild birds help?By feeding song birds in the winter, you increase their chances of survival. The more wild birds that live through the winter, the more wild birds there are to breed in the spring. If you feed backyard birds in the spring, when they are nesting, the parents can spend more time guarding their nest instead of foraging for food. The better the baby birds are fed, the higher their survival rate. Finally, the more young wild birds that survive, the higher the total bird population.If you are like me, just having a healthier wild bird population is enough. There is actually another benefit to having a strong bird population - wild birds eat insects. If there are fewer insects, you won't have to use as many chemicals to control them. Using fewer chemicals will have an immediate impact on the environment by helping to bring it back into balance. Using fewer chemicals is healthier for you, your children, your pets, your yard and the water supply. So as you can see, supporting a wild bird habitat is not only fun, but it is important to the natural world around us. I can tell you from experience that backyard bird watching is a great way to get kids interested in nature. There are many things you can do with your kids to get them interested in birds: build a bird feeder , build a bird house, take pictures of birds, start a bird watching journal, or go on a bird watching trip. These are fun, inexpensive ways to enjoy nature with your kids. This site will provide you with all the backyard bird information you need to create a bird-friendly yard and how to get the most out of wild bird watching.
