LETS CELEBRATE EARTH DAY AND TRY FEW WAYS TO KEEP OUR BEAUTIFUL EARTH SAFE

By making simple changes in our everyday lives, we can make significant strides to improve the planet we all share.
SO WHAT YOU CAN DO IN THIS SPRING SEASON FOR EARTH...LETS DISCUSS...
In my opinion lets do something for our birds in this spring...

To make your residence or neighborhood an inviting sanctuary for birds, create places for them to nest, feed, drink, and wash. Here's some advice on birdhouses, feeders, and birdbaths:

1.BIRDHOUSES

If suitable natural nesting habitats such as old trees are in short supply, build or buy a birdhouse and install it out of reach of cats, squirrels, and other predators.

2. FEEDERS

Commercial bird feeders are available in most hardware stores, but you can also make feeders out of plastic bottles or milk cartons that can be hung from safe places such as a clothesline. If you prefer to grow bird food, consider planting native wildflowers, shrubs, and sunflowers.

3.CULTIVATED FLOWERS also are especially attractive to some birds, particularly goldfinches, house finches, juncos, white-throated sparrows, and hummingbirds.

4.BIRD BATHS

Birds are most comfortable with a rough-surfaced source of water about 2 feet wide, no more than 2 inches deep. A shallow dish or gently-sloping bowl placed right on the ground will do, as will a plastic or terra cotta plant dish or inverted metal trash lid. Put the bath out in the open, not close to shrubs or places where cats can hide. A thorny bush or protective brush pile may make the birds feel more secure.
