Wild Bird Feeders
You don't need to be an Audubon Society member or even a budding amateur bird watcher to enjoy your local wild bird population. Just about everyone can identify a robin or blue jay, but you may have only heard some of the rest of the wild birds in your area. Sometimes you get only a fleeting glimpse of a colorful wild bird darting between the branches of a tree or some unidentified feathered creature foraging in the fall landscape for
Soda Bottle Bird Feeder
My daughter brought home the same type of bird feeder that I made when I was her age. It was a pinecone rolled in peanut butter, and then rolled in bird feed. Though this is a neat idea, we noticed that it really didn’t work. Though the birds wanted the food, they really had nothing on which to perch so that they could eat it. Had it been for hummingbirds, it might have been okay. However, they don’t eat seed, and any other
Bird Feeder
Most of the people I know put a lot of thought into the way they make their gardens look. They set up well landscaped, well tended plants, lay whimsical brick paths, add water fountains, and put in outdoor patio furniture, wooden benches, and porch swings. There are a few things, however, that affect the quality of a garden that most people do not think about. One of the biggest ones, in my opinion, is birds. It is amazing how much
Glass Hummingbird Feeders
There is nothing better in the summer than a backyard filled with natural beauty ranging from plants to wildlife. No, I'm not talking about deer and coyotes here; I'm actually thinking on a much smaller scale. Tiny hummingbirds with their wings vibrating, flitting about from flower to flower in your garden. It is a glorious sight indeed, and I decided to up my viewing pleasure by purchasing glass hummingbird feeders that would

Those who love birds often have as many types of feeders and birdhouses on their property as they can. There are different types of each, and what someone wants to use may depend on where someone lives and what special circumstances with which they have to deal. This means taking some time to think about what would work best. One of the biggest problems some have is that squirrels often get into bird feeders. When this

Are you animal lover? If you're anything like me, then you enjoy spotting random wildlife strolling through your yard. Whether it be squirrels, chipmunks, deer, rabbits, or just simple birds, it's a blast watching them in their element. And yes your yard is their element. Well, at least to them it is. It's not like they can tell the difference half of the time. They tend to go where the food is. So why not draw them in with wildlife
Humming Bird Feeder
I have always loved hummingbirds, and seeing them in my garden has been one of the sure signs that the spring has come for many years. I don't spend very much time in the garden, so usually I am lucky if I see a hummingbird once or twice a season. After all, they move so quickly, and feed so rapidly, that you have to be looking at just the right moment to see one! So when my wife decided to get a humming bird feeder, I
Bird House Feeder
You've got to give it up for Mother Nature. She has created a wondrous variety of creatures for us to enjoy as the seasons change. Currently we're enjoying the springtime. I admire this season in particular because it's when all the birds, butterflies and bunny rabbits appear. I can survey my back yard and spot all sorts of creatures loving their environment. This is
Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders
Enjoying the wonder of nature is something most of us don’t do enough of. If you are fortunate enough to live in an area where birds, chipmunks and squirrels abound, it’s lovely to sit out in the backyard and just absorb all that nature has to offer by watching the wildlife. Having a feeder filled with seeds is wonderful for the area birds, but
