Birds at Feeders. Feeding and Attracting

Feeding birds is a very important and necessary thing, and observing the feathered visitors at feeders brings a lot of pleasure. The book provides comprehensive answers to the most important questions: how, what, when, and which wild birds to feed. This can be done in various places: from the balcony of a city apartment to a summer cottage, a park, or a nearby forest. The book pays great attention to the variety of feeds, and since not all of them are beneficial, it also addresses what can (and cannot) be fed, how to prepare feed, and how to store it. In addition to feeding, you can plant certain plants that will attract even more birds to the summer cottage. Since visiting feeders is associated with certain dangers, the book offers very important recommendations on how to avoid them and how to protect feathered guests from enemies and competitors. If you have hung a feeder but no one is coming to it, check out the chapter on how to attract birds in such a case. Finally, a large concluding part of the book is dedicated to the diversity of birds that can be fed: both the most common and the rare – all need your help in difficult times. The book is based on scientific research data and the author's many years of experience as a professional zoo engineer, ornithologist, and photographer. It is written with great love for birds.
