Nancy Today: Feeding the birds and squirrels pt 2
I have this oatmeal, peanutbutter, lard mixture to squish into the suet holder. The snow is so deep, but I’m standing atop it with my snowshoes on!
Academy aviculturist Vikki provides a behind the scene look into catching, identifying, and feeding the free-flying birds that inhabit the Rainforests of the World exhibit. There are over 12 different species of birds that live in the rainforest, including silver-beaked tanagers (Ramphocelus carbo), red-legged honeycreepers (Cyanerpes cyaneus), bananaquits (Coereba flaveola), paradise tanagers (Tangara chilensis), rufous-crowned tanagers (Tangara cayana), violaceous euphonias (Euphonia violacea), opal-rumped tanagers (Tanagara velia), and turquoise tanagers (Tangara mexicana).

Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder
www.duncraft.com Looking for a squirrel proof bird feeder? Our nyjer selective feeder is a dining sanctuary for dainty goldfinches. Larger birds can scare away the smaller goldfinch. But this Nyjer Selective caging is designed to offer goldfinches a protected enclosure for dining–while larger birds are blocked out. Overhanging metal roof protects Nyjer seed from weather; eight stainless steel perches, metal cap, and Squirrel Lock prevent squirrel damage.
A close up from the video showing a (harmless) shock given to squirrels trying to get to my bird feeder. See the longer version for the device itself.

While overhead, her birds fill the skies.♪

How Green Does Your Garden Really Grow?
How Green Does Your Garden Really Grow?
Aurora, OR (PRWEB) June 25, 2008
There are plenty of ways to make your garden greener – both literally and environmentally speaking. Joe Sharp, founding member of the Coalition of Environmentally Conscious Growers™, offers tips for maintaining an eco-friendly garden. What you do on your garden is not dissimilar to what Coalition members do on thousands of acres containing millions of Christmas trees.
Sharp’s Tips:
1. Plant indigenous plants that will thrive easily in your climate
2. Use all-natural compost made from vegetable scraps rather than fertilizer
3. Harvest rainwater to capture mineral- and chlorine-free water for watering
4. Plant herbs and flowers to attract helpful insects such as bees and butterflies
5. Feed the birds–birds keep harmful insects at bay
6. Invest in plants animals don’t prefer to eat to limit use of chemical deterrents
7. Don’t use herbicides and pesticides
8. Plant wildflowers to prevent erosion
The Coalition of Environmentally Conscious Growers is a not-for-profit 501 (c) (6) entity focusing on consumer education and a Grower Certification that identifies responsible, earth-friendly tree growers. For more information please visit http://www.christmastreeoregon.com.

The bird feeder was really busy for the last couple of days.
Good thing I filled it.
I had to put a few handfuls around on the ground for the cardinals.
I’m not sure just how cardinals get enough to eat. They’re so skittish. They sit there looking around most of the time, then grab one seed and fly away somewhere. Then a few minutes later they’re back and repeat the process. The one seed must barely be enough to fuel their frequent flights.

Anti-Squirrel Bird Feeder
A solar powered device gives a harmless shock to a squirrel trying to climb my bird feeder. (They quickly learn to stick to the squirrel feeder and avoid the bird seed.)
