BIRDS: FEEDERS - BATHS - WATCHING

______________________________________

The study of birds is called ornithology; it is a hobby that many people love pursuing. I am an ornithologist.

Many people will only feed the birds in the winter months, which is when they need it most, however, by feeding throughout the spring and summer months you will attract the migratory birds. Learning the habits of the birds you wish to attract and learning what their feeding habits are will help you decide the appropriate flowers, shrubs and trees for your area garden.

If you decide to put up bird houses it is important to remember that keeping your bird house clean is very important to the health of your new feathered friends. With a bit of forethought, proper planning and a little maintenance, the addition of new bird houses can bring birds to your garden every year. It is viewing pleasure that you will never forget!

While almost any type of bird feeder or bird house will prove itself a delightful addition to your landscape, remember that sometimes you will have wild bird visitors from over 60 miles away. This does not include the migratory birds that may discover and make it a habit, year after year of stopping in your garden!  Many homeowners have been surprised and delighted to see the variety of migratory birds that they have discovered feeding right in their own back yards.  

You can pick up an inexpensive bird book at your local bookstore. You might be amazed at the vast variety of birds located right in your own neighborhood. You are sure to soon find yourself being an avid bird fan, feeding and attracting everything from finches to hummingbirds right in your own backyard.
