You can bring predator birds that target in six such as worms and Beatles into your garden by feeding suet a mixture of animal fat and seeds mockingbirds love suet and mockingbirds eat their own body weight in insects every three days

Even more important is planting for pollinators!!!! Do you know the failure rate for honeybees in USA is now over 50%? Some states like here in Maryland, the failure rate of honeybees is 65%...the lack of forage is directly responsible for the massive loss of native bees and honeybees....Another clear indicator is state honey production...in the early 1900s, Iowa had a honey production rate of over 300 pounds per colony and now it's about 40-50 pounds...that's a massive cut in productivity due to lack of available forage!!!! AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!! You must live up in Hillcrest area or near the park? I grew up out there in Clairemont where my parents still live...the environment has changed drastically since when I was a kid back in the early 70s...

Yep I'm near the park! And good point. I'm going to make more videos on planting for pollinators, in fact I just interviewed a bug expert on my podcast and I'm going to use that knowledge in the garden this year

We actually hang ceramic bird houses from shepherds hooks near our garden and one on our shed with the one inch diameter hole. We get house wrens every year , probably the same families come back year after year. Its fun to watch them build and catch winged predators from our garden. The mother house wren I'm assuming is singing to us all the time. she gets really close to me in the garden and is very happy there. We have a pond with a running waterfall for them so they are spoiled. I love to here her babies when they are hungry and to wait for them to Fletch their nest when its time. They also like the home-made gourd bird houses hung in trees as well. Thanks for all you do Good luck with your Wren family :)

Great video! I love that you have created a little ecosystem in an otherwise desolate urban environment. One suggestion for the bird house is putting a metal portal around the hole. Seeing that you had a squirrel in your yard, it would protect the nesting birds and their eggs/offspring from squirrel predation. Might mess up the aesthetics of the house, but it would make it safer for the birds.

Metal bird baths will overheat the water and make the rim too hot to perch on. Ours is stone. It's placed near a tree but out in the open so predators can't jump from the tree into it and birds can easily see a predator coming. Our feeder is placed the same way. If it's hanging from a tree, any squirred or prefator can get at it.

If you want to keep the squirrels out of your bird feeder then feed only safflower seeds. The birds love them but the squirrels don't. I have been told by an old birder that seed is bitter to squirrels. I have tried it and she was right. My squirrels eat out of their feeder and waterer in our front yard and leave the birds feeder and waterer alone in the backyard. 👍 I also find the birds like a fountain and see them by my small one in my backyard quite often. 😊 Thank you for such an informative video.
@epicgardening5 жыл бұрын
That's an awesome tip. I need to check on that...I will proably also end up relocating the feeder to a spot where even if a squirrel is in the tree...it won't be able to reach it! And yes, moving water > still water as far as attracting birds!

Nr. 1 is consistently feeding a variety of birds in the winter and making predator proof nesting places. Then defend the nests from predator birds (ravens and crows specifically). Most songbirds (don't discount the starlings and robins) will reward you with eating mosquitoes and feeding hundreds of the little ones to their chicks during June and July. The seed birds are also necessary to keep poison ivy and oak at bay. All birds are awesome, even the ravens/crows except when they think birdnests are their personal kfc buffet 😢

I have been wanting to get supplies (feeders, bathes, nests) for my birds and squirrels! There is absolutely no way that I could trap, kill, or deter them; my yard is a natural haven in the south with a massive pecan tree looming over the yard. They will come back because of that tree alone! I figure two things will work: fattening them up on delicious seeds and fruits AND/OR attracting more raptors, which also spend much of their time around my property. I believe this doesn’t make sense for some so I’m skeptical still on spending the $ as our fruit hasnt been touched... yet.

Depends on the bird, but most will eat them, and some birds don't mind moving water, so a solar fountain would be suggested since moving water prevents most insect eggs. Also, I would suggest trying to attract dragon Flys. If you have a mosquito problem.
