The Backyard Bird Feeder's Bible: The A-to-Z Guide To Feeders, Seed Mixes, Projects, And Treats (Rodale Organic Gardening Book) Reviews
I enthusiastically recommend this book. How else should it be organized. Do you want to know about how to insulate your birdbath, predators, attracting birds by growing zinnias, bird behaviors, squirrels or using apples. This is a must-have guide to everything about attracting birds and things you need to be concerned about. If I want to know about seed hoarding I go to Seed Hoarding, if I want to know about tray feeders I go to Tray Feeders and so on.
I disagree with the reviewer that said it wasn't good because it was organized alphabetically. This is something I don't want to share so I'll have to figure a safe solution to the matter. I borrowed this book from the library and kept referring to it that I had to buy it. Recently I was having a problem with my strawberry plants and was wondering what was getting to them (we have many wild animals that come and go) and it even had an article on that. You won't be sorry.
It is all here and more. So I paid more attention when I was working in my yard and noticed that a group of crows were going after them.
You can read more about it and other items on my profile page on Amazon. However, we also discovered that the birds inhaled food, simply seemed to suck it in like some industrial strength vacuum cleaner, small in size and.well, I wish I had a vacuum cleaner that quick and efficient. It was very helpful and now we're happy and the birds are happy. For those of you who feel just fine spending money on bird seed and not finding less costly methods of feeding the adorable little gluttons, you'll find a huge array of info in this one about how to choose feeders, which mixes work best and even how to deal with cicadas. We had thistle feeders and those for birds who preferred sunflower seeds. But.we were going into hock trying to keep those birds fed.
Did we ever get a show. So I bought this book partly because of the section on how to keep them fed and still afford to retire someday. Of course, some things can't be taught by a book, as I learned when a bird alit on my shoulder while filling a feeder, a small gift. But if you want info about how to attract birds, create the ideal feeders and find the mix seed mixes as well as projects you can make yourself, this IS the book to get.
This year we put up a super duper, no attractions spared, bird feeding center. We had finches, wrens, cardinals and all sorts of birds appear. You can get an idea of the book's topics by using the "Search Inside the Book" feature. Here's my experience so you can discover if you are on my level or SUPERIOR to me when it comes to knowledge about bird feeding.
Another sign that nature trumps technology much of the time.
My boyfriend loves this and so do I. It has shed a new light on an old sport.
Whatever you want to know about birds, just look up the word and there is tons of information on the subject. Fast and easy.
The next thing I know he takes it home with him and won't bring it back to me. but I think I am going to allow him to keep it). Actually, all summer long we have been visited at our little place in the country by birds of all sorts and we have been feeding them everyday so they wouldn't get bored and go away, but my nephew didn't have any interest in them. Apparently this book had the remarkable effect of sparking in him a sudden interest in the hobby of attracting and feeding birds. I barely got to look at the thing. He says it is a great book because the information within is very interesting and very in-depth. Aren't you.
As I said, I did not really get to look at this book, but let's base my 5 star review on the enthusiasm it sparked in him. that is, not until I let him look at this book. He also loves the plentiful beautiful pictures which helps keep him attracted all the more to the subject matter. I am very pleased that a child growing up in today's sterile electronically-obsessed society can still find something very natural and positive to invest his time and interest in. I made the mistake of allowing my young nephew to glance through it a few days ago. (Well, he 'would' because he's that kind of guy.
