On the Wild Side

Listen to this article

In their natural habitats, birds have full reign over their territory. Prey is at the mercy of their sharp claws and beaks, and everything is within a flight’s reach for them. That’s thanks to their hollow bones, which makes their range almost endless. This unique feature provides them with all the resources they need for survival.

One of the best ways to enjoy wild birds from the comfort of your home is to watch birds at a feeder. The general rule for feeding is to not feed them when it might cause them harm, but the feeding of wild birds can actually help them during extreme temperatures, migration and when their natural seed sources are depleted.

Understanding the habitat and instincts of birds gives way to new, creative innovations. That’s why products that have a wild flair are becoming common in the creative market. It’s imperative for wild birds to have products that represent the features of nature because they are not being exposed to it in captivity.

These products have features that mirror the necessities of the wild, and will help with the creation of a haven for local birds. By offering food, water, shelter and refuge from such hazards as toxic sprays and mowers, wild birds will provide countless hours of enjoyment for nature lovers.
