What do you think of somebody that respects all living things, even insects?

I’m so weird, I save all little things, such as insects, small birds that I feed with my mouth and I want to pick –up all street animals. My dream is, to live on a farm and have lots and lots of animals, pigs, ducks, horses, sheep, cows and chickens and much more! I have the greatest respect for plants! So weird! I even save ants…

bird help!!?

hi, I love birds, but sadly i can’t keep them in the house, so i was wondering if i got canaries, finches, parakeets, small birds like that, and built a couple big nest boxs and put hay, or burlap in the boxes and put seed and water out for them everyday, would they survive? there aren’t any loose cats around my house, would they all get along? what are some other birds, besaides the ones i mentioned? please dn’t say pigeon, or qual. thanks!
oh they would be loose, they wouldn’t be in a cage.

How can I repel dogs when I am feeding small birds in the park?

I like feeding small wild sparrows and blackbirds in the park….but the dog owners think they own the place and let their dogs run wild, poo and pee, and torment the birds while I am feeding them.

What is a good, strong, natural dog repellent that will keep the dogs away, while not bugging the birds that I can conceal??

Very creative ideas welcome!!!!
Im thinking nice hot pepper seeds in a colourful toy or biscuit carefully planted….natures protection?
I noticed the wild birds are very careful what they eat…
Oh, yes..anything harmless that would induce yelping, and that is concealable would be appreciated
last comment: Its not hypocritical to want to repel unleashed dogs away from a small greenspace. I would never harm *any* animal. Wild Birds have a hard life, they are small, exposed, and live a short life. They have a right to greenspace as well(probably even more so). Human domesticated animals ruin the planet everywhere. (I also think keeping parrots as pets is wrong, but thats a whole other issue. Why do Parrots go nuts? Their habitat was totally destroyed by humans and replaced by cattle in central/South America…they don’t belong in cages they belong in a wild rainforest)

How can we stop crows plaguing our small garden?

for the last 2 weeks crows have been frightening small birds from feeding in garden.

what is the difference between cadmium and alkiline batteries?

I have a bird feeder with a railing that the birds sit on. It is battery powered and activated by weight so that small birds can feed yet keep squirrels and larger birds away. It came with rechargeable cadmium batteries. I do not have a charger. Can I use alkiline batteries?
