Projects for the Birders Garden
Experience the gratification of watching birds gobble seeds and other treats from your homemade bird feeder. Look on with delight as a mother bird tends to her babies in the protective hideaway of a birdhouse you have lovingly constructed from a dried gourd. Create a sunflower plantation, a bird teepee, a tent-style twig feeder, a pedestal birdbath. Follow the step-by-step instructions in this book, and your yard will quickly become an enticing playground, breeding ground, and feeding ground for colorful songbirds.
Among the book's special features:
? Projects require only a few simple tools and supplies, and most can be easily and inexpensively assembled using only scrap materials found around the house
? Information-packed sidebars include tips for identifying the nests and eggs of songbirds and interesting facts and figures about birds and bird behavior
? Intructions show how to create baffles and barriers to keep squirrels, raccoons, and other unwanted guests away from the birdseed
