Beautiful Birds

How lucky you would be if you lived in a warm climate and could have these birds around your pond?
Birds range in various sizes as well as colors. These Flamingos are rather large and the colors are awesome.

Ducks

Duck houses for ducks that live in trees? Yes, a few ducks do nest in trees on a regular basis, and these include the Bufflehead, Wood Duck, Goldeneyes and Mergansers. These ducks commonly nest in tree cavities, which makes them good candidates for man-made habitats.
They are incapable of excavating a cavity to live in as a woodpecker might, so they search for an existing hole ... and a rather large one at that. Their acceptable cavities are fewer than ever, making them quite dependent on human benefactors. Young forests, and those without woodpeckers or flickers, will not have cavities suitable for ducks.

Our Little Feathered Friends

Winter is almost over, but please remember our little feathered friends. They are still in need of our help. If we have fed and housed them over the winter we still need to take care of them. They have become dependant on us and it may be difficult for them to go out on their own in search of food, depending of course where you are and how much snow you still may have.
This may be a good time to clean your houses that are empty, so that they will be ready in the spring with the arrival of new birds.

Birds

There really is nothing so exquiste as a bird in flight! Have you ever really watched them? So beautiful. It doesn't really matter how big or how small they are. They are just so graceful.
They must be very strong to be able to stay in mid air and propel themselves forward. And the distance they fly when they migrate in unbelievable.

Birds

Everyone has had birds fly into their backyard. But, if we want them to stay longer we will need to encourage them by adding a few things to the area. Birds love water, so byadding a pond or a birdbath you will be giving them something to drink and a place to play and refresh.
By adding flowering trees and shrubs you will be encouraging them to come for food and refuge. It is trully fun watching them play in the water.

Bird Watching

Even if you are not an experienced bird watcher I know you will enjoy this experience. Soon you will be able to identify the birds that will frequent your backyard. Not only will you be able to identify the birds by sight you will also be able to identify by its call or song.
It is such a great experience! Do you know what bird this is?

Feeding the Birds

We have discussed planting a bird garden. What I mean by that is to plant trees, flowers and shrubs that birds will be attracted to.
You plant it and they will come. It is getting harder and harder for birds to find food in the winter. Planting trees and shrubs with berries will not only attract the birds, but it will give them a place to rest while they are in transit.

Log Cabin Birdhouse

I like this birdhouse. It reminds me of days gone by. But because of the tin roof it really isn't suitable for the use by birds, but it would sure be a great item to use in an Americana themed sun room or deck.
Most decorative birdhouse can be used for the birds, although many of us think that they are just too beautiful to put outside and tend to use them in our decor.
