I love bird feeding

Posts Tagged ‘small birds’

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.

round,light brown seeds that are in the bag..Does anybody know what these seeds are? and why the birds will not eat it??

i just got mine i have had small birds n the past so this is my first lg one.and just want a good first start

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…

I have a very small walled garden containing only lawn. When it rained the other day I noticed thousands of baby snails climbing the walls and on my verandah. How can I get rid of them without putting down any poisons, as I have small birds feeding there daily. Please help. I also notice slugs appearing on the walls at night, but they are not many (yet).

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)

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