Gardener Bird Lover's Paradise
Birdhouses, Bird Feeders, Bird Books, Bird Resources and More! |

For
many young and old alike, the observation of birds has been either a pleasurable
pastime, a serious hobby or an obsession. Birds have been the subject
of conservationists, models for artists in all mediums, identified in
literature, theater and music. Their migration, feeding and breeding habits
have been studied by numerous organizations. What is it about birds that
fascinate us...? Is it the freedom they represent...? The ability to take
flight on a whim...? Their wonderful song first thing in the morning or
the last thing at night...?
There's no denying that something about finding a bird's nest or seeing
the first robin of the season touches a special cord in all of us. This
is why Yankee Gardener has created this comprehensive section of products
and resources just for the bird lover in all of us.

feeder is busiest, which isn't surprising. You want a cup of coffee
or a glass of milk with your lunch, too...!!! Easy directions for
making a child's birdbath is also included.

# CBSTRYA137
Feeding wild birds is a wonderful way to enjoy and study nature.
Millions of people every year set out winter feeders to entice winged
wildlife to their backyards. Some of these feeders are gleefully
accepted by hordes of hungry birds, some are patronized, but much
of the food is never consumed, and still others are virtually ignored.
Is there some secret to luring birds to your feeder...???
