 If
They Only Had A Home
"Close your eyes, and tap your heels together three times."
That may be the way to get home from the wonderful Land of Oz, but for
wild birds looking for a place to raise their families during spring
nesting season, things can be a bit more complicated.
You can play a helpful, interactive role during this season by placing
nesting materials and birdhouses around your backyard, possibly enticing
some of the many cavity nesting birds.
Providing birdhouses can make your birds' lives a little easier. After
all, they're expending lots of energy migrating, courting and looking
for scarce food.
Most of last year’s natural food sources have been depleted, and the
majority of this year’s seeds and berries won’t be available until much
later.
The best seeds for providing high energy levels are black oil sunflower,
striped sunflower and safflower. Suet is also an invaluable high energy
food for birds.
As you can see, there are a variety of ways you can help your birds
during this trying season.
Stop by your nearest Wild
Birds Unlimited Nature Shop this month. We have everything you need
this nesting season, including all sorts of birdhouses for a variety of
birds and the best birdfood in town.
That way, when birds find your yard, they'll think "there’s no place
like home; there’s no place like home; there’s no place like home…." |
