As more land in the earth is used for incommoding the ever-growing
human population yards and city parks become important bird habitat.
Children can learn and enjoy the wonders of nature and birds right
from the window. Children will be able to observe the hatching of young
chicks and learn how many birds help control the insect population.
One fun aspect of feeding birds is learning what birds are visiting
your backyard habitat. There are several good identification field
guides such as National Geographic, Peterson's East & West and
Birds of North America through which the wild birds can be
identified. Birds are grouped by physical nature. It is fairly
easy to distinguish a duck from a songbird by just looking
at body shape and size, as well as the beak and feet shapes.
These physical characteristics will help identify birds: size,
body shape, colors, markings, beak shape, feet and wing shape
in flight. Birds have a variety of calls.
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 season you will attract the migratory
birds returning from southern climates.In addition, by feeding in the spring and summer, parenting birds will have easy access to a food source for their young. Food like seeds, protein rich insects and worms, flies; birds love mosquitoes, spiders, aphids and ants.
