Birds need huge quantities of food compared to their size. If we all ate "like birds" we would have endless meals that daily almost equaled our own weight. In natural surround- ings enough food is usually supplied by trees, vines, plants, and berries. But the average city lot, or even a fair-sized garden or country lot, cannot provide enough food for more than a few birds. Food must be supplied to encourage a high bird population and to a,ttra,ct a variety of birds to the alea. There are two different types of feeding: summer feeäing and winter feeding. As the names imply, these feeding meth- ods are dictated by the weather and involve two different procedures. Many people, believe that they are doing their duty by throwing bread crumbs to birds throughout the year. it is true that they are helping by giving the birds some extra food, but they are not supplying what the birds actually Iike and need. The person who feeds birds correcily varies their diet according to the time of year. Many localities have enough food to support a normal number of birds during the summer. But, if an area is lack- ing in trees, if there are few or no gard.en spots, if there is Iittle natural or even planted vegetation, then summer feed- ing is as important as winter feeding if birds are to be attracted and help in the neighborhood. summer feeding Summer feeding will naturally bring more birds to the yard and garden. Birds brighten our lives which is reason enough to feed them well. Indeed, summer feeding of birds is a greater beneflt to people than to the birds themselves. With a little patience and time, most birds can be trained to come up to your house. A friend of mine, who has a beauti_ ful home in a well-wooded area on the outskirts of a 1arge city, built an ordinary platform feeder and placed it at the edge of the woods. Here he fed the birds every day. At the end of each week he moved the feeder, which was on a pipe, about 5 to 6 feet closer to the house. The birds scarcely noticed the change of location and day by day came to the 89 JI pu€ 'poo; .roy sropeeJ .rnozt o1 eruoc 1rm, .rteq1 .q+nos aq+ o1 e1e.r31ur spJlq oq+ sV .uoos ool +ou sT Jeruruns e+€I ue^e-II€J m r(1.ree ur8aq +snru ruer8o.rd Surpeey .roluTla InJssoccns V 'JeluT.{ra eJl+ue oq+ üoql roJ epIAoJd pue .q8no.rq1 uroq+ oos lsnru no.r( ,s1sen8 rnor( oq ol ueq+ pelraul pu€ 'ruoo; Eu1urp,, rnort o1u1 sp.rTq peclluo ezreq nozf ;1 .s.relrenb 8u1.re1uprl l€Jnl€u JIeq+ ruoJJ spJlq erll paJnl s€q qcrq.{!t flddns Jo ocrnos sTql roJ oln+Tlsqns ou sT eroq+ peddols sT +I JI pu€ u€ur uodn luepuedap sprTq so>I€ru Furpeeg ro+ul/vUsprlq Jo sperpunq SuTIIpl 1o zt1pn8 eq l(eu noÄ .1ou Jr :penuTluoc oq lsnur +r .un8eq sr Surpee; ocuo .dn 1r enrE ueql pu€ paeJ-Jolu1lril ol 1.r€ls lou oC[ .1urod slql +€ uenr8 aq lsnw 8u1u.rem € +ng .ocJ€cs saruocoq pooJ I€rnt€u rlar{l r\A.ous pu€ rar{}€era ploc Jo I€aIJJ€ eql qlIA\ .sprTq Furpeey;o eseqd 1ec11ce.rd pu€ tu€1rodrur e.roru eql sT Furpeey Jo+urly\ Fulpoel repm ee.re uezr18 € olul SpJIq Orour 8ur.rq sorullouros 1rm. .reer( eq+ Jo erurl srql l€ ureql Eurpeeg 'Jerrrurns uT €eJ€ epl/\4. € JeAo poJellecs dlensn eJ€ spJlq 'slTq€q 3u11seu ol enp :e8eluenpe Jortr+ou€ s€q +I .e1e1ce.rdde lfeql qcrq^a, lelp ;o e8ueqc € sprrq eq1 err8 saop Fulpeeg Joruruns 'pooJ Jo ocrnos l€Jnl€uun JTeql uo +u€IIoJ ool IIIeql oq€tu z(eur SurpeoJ Joruruns pu€ .sa1.r.req pF^4, pu€ .slcesur 'spees pee^ Jo rrrJoJ orll q pooJ l€Jnl€u JoJ >IooI ztlerrrlcurlsur z(eq1 eurrl srql Sur.rnq 'Jerrnuns ur spJrq Fulpeag.reno pro^V '1ueru.r(ofue urao Jrorl+ JoJ .r{1r.relur.rd Eurpeey roururns ur e8e8ue eldoed ssoql '+T poou fgenlce pu€ Jo+ulrla or{t 8u1.rnp JopaoJ orll ztq lgeuaq op sprrq eq1 q8noqllv .Tuaru -uT€+Jeluo punoJ-r€e.f epprold .t(eql snql pu€ ile^a s€ Jo+uTlv\ uT +nq Jerrrurns eq1 Surrnp ztluo 1ou pertofue oq u€c lsnrl pu€ sseuTlpuelrJ Jlor{l pu€ scllu€ pue s8uos JIar{J .uo Fu1 -{ool sreztlqF1 e111q lred Jo ecuolpn€ u€ aa€rl Äeq1 ,ueqc114 eq+ uT $IJorr4, eJr.{\4. srq s€ Jo qcunl Jo +s"J}T€arq l€a ztlrure; slq pu€ puoTrJ r(tu se .fep lf.reae .+InseJ € sV .Jolc€Jeuoq .rToql uT ocuopguoc dolezrep ol peruees pu€ poue+qFIJJ z(gsee ool lou e.re.ol ztaq;, .eldoed eT{l JO SSaIIOSOIC eq+ pü€ ,esnor{ erll uT sluouroaour pu€ osTou eql suol+€col eql 01 poIIIol -sncc€ eur€ceq spJlq erIJ .uor{c+T{ pu€ {oou +s€J{€erq oql Surce; s^/!.opur.{!a or{+ eprslno 1q31.r s€^a JopooJ erll oTrrll +roqs € uJ 'esnoq eql o1 Jesolc oIllTI € our€c {ee-{!!. qc€e pu€ .JepeoJ Pocific Flywoy Centrol Flywoy Mississippi Flywoy Atlontic Flywoy Here is a map showing the principal migration routes used by ducks and geese that pass through North America to their wintering grounds in the south.

Any information that would apply throughout the country would be very general and of little help. There are many variables such as migration paths and the natural characteristics of the countryside. But by learning the requirements of their own locality, thousands of people are attracting and hotding birds each year and for many years. bird diets To make a feeding program successful, it is necessary to know the diet of the birds you wish to attract and to dupli- cate their natural food as closely as possible. On the basis of their eating habits, birds may be divided for convenience into insect-eating and seed-eating birds, although the distinctions between them is not clean-cut. Since the majority of birds fall into both categories, feeding presents little difficulty as far as variety in their diet is concerned. It is advisable to use separate feeders, some for insects and some for seeds. If you wish, you can have a combination feeder for both types of food, or for the birds that eat both insects and seeds. The more feeders you have the more numerous and varied will be the birds you attract. With several well-located feeders you will provide for the natural tendency of birds to flit about from place to place pecking, scratching, and exploring. grit-an essential addition Birds must take a certain amount of grit, usually a very fine sand or gravel, with their food for digestion. In normal, natural feeding, the pecking a bird does on the ground provides this grit. fn winter feeding, when birds do not get enough grit this way, it must be added to their food. Usually very fi.ne washed sand or gravel is needed. While it may be purchased, any fine sand that you can fi.nd in your locatity will work. Watch where an excavation for a new building is being made and if they strike sand, take home a small bag. A little will last all winter. A teaspoon of grit to a quart of feed is sufficient. Crushed charcoal can also be used to provide grit. 56 'slunLlc a8.rel Joi ]uoruoA -uo3 sl lses olelod Jo uoruo uv 'aceld ul lens ploq l!M qsaur arM Jo apeLu lalseq v 'e{€Iu o+ unJ sr 1r .osIV.sJepaal eq} oluT lnd ol u€elc pu€ oldlllrs sT lI 'alsts/ta ou s€q pu€ JoBuoI sdoa{ ruJoJ e>I€c ur spees Jo spul}l snoTJ€^ q+r/!L pauTqruoc lans 'roql€e1K eq+ tuorJ +r +coloJd pu€ .pooJ aa.Iesuoc ,plTnq o+ eldurs aJE sJepeal aserl;, .sa8€d Furnolloy eq] q paqlrcs -ep 'ropoal +ens € pllnq o1 sr lens o^ros o1 .rtem +soq ar{J 'eJer{^resla Jo oerl € ol pep"u oq uoql uec Feq eq; .{c"s uoTuo .ro o1e1od € s" qcns .Feq qseru uedo ue u1 peceld eq u€c s>IunqC 'lens me.r 5u1n.res yo s.rte.tr Jeq+o ilrls aJ€ oJoqJ ßem srql ur pa+€oJl eq u€c {ooq sn{l uI peqrrcsop sropooJ eql q s1.red l€+eru IIV .xa+€I r{+Tl!t polured .ro Joqqnr xe}€I pTnbTI ur paddrp oq u€c slred I€+atu eql 'porrsop JT ,tng 'paueddeq s€q srtll oroqra ocuts1s -ur ou Jo .{v\ou{ I .tuoq+ oqt azoerl feur Äeq1 ,Joql€o^\ ploc 8u1.rnp I€?otu qlrd\ +c€luoc ur oruoc spJlq JI leql enerleq zteq; 'sac€JJns l€laur pesodxe ou e^€q pFoqs sprlq .roy peprrro.rd soIXrFc€J erll +€ql rul€Ic suos.red oruos .Furppnq oq+ uo urels zf11q31sun 'Iq-I E Surzreel ,llotu ilr^4. lens eql asn€ceq osnoq .rnor( ;o lred rtue ol laqs€q oql F€u Jel\oN 'ur.roy1e1d JapeeJ ro eorl € ol poF€u oq ü€c +o{s€q sIrIJ .qlolc or€l!1. -pr€q s€ ulraou{ osl€ ,qsour eJTra qcur_ z/t E Io lno seqcur 0I x g x g le{s€q fl€tus € o>T€ru 01 sT ?ons e^Jes ol Äe.or ro+laq V 'qcu€Jq eeJ+ € o1 +I Jo {unqc € ell ol .ro ur.ro;1e1d oq+ o+ +I IT€u o1 sr eceld uT lI ploq o1 .{em aug .sl€r lc€rl1€ IIIlra lT alor{/!t 'puno.r8 aql ol 1ey {eur +I .Je^e.f!\oq .1r 1e 4cad sprTq or{t sV 'ur.rog1e1d Surpeey eq+ uo 1r eceld {1dru1s uec noÄ 'ror{c+nq oql uroJJ }r 1aF nort se 1sn[ palJos eq u€c lons lOns 0,lJ0S 0l rllOq 'oIq€Ir€A€ sI pooJ I€JnlEu JTorIl JI ue^o 1'r l€e IFra pu€ .lI e^ol sprrq Furlee_lcesur eq+ ilV 'popoeu s€ pesn pu€ polloru eq u€c lT pu€ uorle.reF -TJJoJ +noqlr^a lens dae4 u€c noÄ .pooJ pJrq pe.rede.rd a{€ur o1 peJopueJ uor{.fra ztlqloours ua4.op tletu lou soop pu€ l€e 01 sp.rTq roJ pJ€rI sr ?ens .ß8ur"r1g , +Jor{s,, Joq+€J 1nq .trFu1.r1s lou sr ?€qt tans roJ {s€ .11 8ur.r(nq uorl/K reqc1nq .rnod uro.r; .ttlenlsuedxeur paul€lqo oq u€c pu€ ,{ see.rFep g1y ol 00T uro.r; se8u€r r{cTr{lta 'spJlq Jo oJnl€Jodruel r(poq q8rq eq1 Surure+ur€ru roJ I€epT sr lons .lens Jeeq f.reurp.ro sr eJ€J srr{l JoJ oln+rlsqns lseq eqJ .a€AJ€I rTeql pu€ slcesur ztllsoru 'Jell€ur I€ruru€ Jo lunoru€ e3le1 € +tso sprTq Fu11ee-1cesu1 ,,.,l. ti,ll',. :rl;a:ali::::arrr,.

With the suet-seed mixture in a semiliquid state, press it into the holes of your log feeder. To make cakes put the seeds into any of the receptacles or forms described above. Let the suet cool slightiy until it begins to set. If the suet is too hot and too runny, some of the seeds will float. If you like, you can pour the semiliquid suet over seeds that you have placed in half-grapefruit shells or in a coconut shell. These can be set out on the feeder plat- forms in the shells and when empty, refllled. Two coconut shell feeders, both of which can be used for melted suet and seed, are illustrated on page 102. The one with the entrance hole can be almost filled with the mixture, leaving just enough room for the hungry nuthatches and chickadees to enter. There are many other ways in which suet-seed mixtures can be used to feed birds. You can drop the seed into the melted suet, and when it is in the plastic stage and about to harden, the mixture can be forced into the holes of a log feeder. Suet-seed preparations make flne Christmas decorations as well as holiday gifts for the birds. When in the plastic- liquid state, the mixture can be poured over a dead pine bough. (This should not be done on a living tree since the hot suet would kill the branch.) The mixture will stick to the dead branch, which can then be attached to a living tree or used as a winter window-box decoration. When pouring the melted suet, hold another utensil below to catch the drippings, or try dipping the branch into the mix- ture, but that can be wasteful since some of the seeds and suet will fall to the ground. For insect eating birds, the National Audubon Society has developed a food mixture called a "food tree" which ap- proximates, rather closely, the bird diet provided by normal insect clusters. This formula was developed by Von Ber- Iepsch and bears his name. The mixture is made as follows: Bread, dried and ground 5 oz. Meat, dried and ground 3 Hempseed 5 Millet 3 Ant "eggs" 2 Sunflower seed 3 Dried berries LL/z The ingredients are well mixed and then one and one-half times as much melted suet is added. ft can be offered to the birds like the suet-seed mixtures. It was originally intended to be put on tree branches and for that reason was called the "food tree." In place of ant eggs, the dried meat can be increased to 5 ounces. 60 [...]...
