SONGBIRDS IN YOUR GARDEN

by John K. Terres ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 5, 1953

There have been other books on planting to attract birds, on building bird houses, etc. But none- so far as I know- that comes down to practical facts so completely and so satisfactorily as this. The feeding of birds seasonal, specialties for various types of birds, proper balance in diet, proper kinds of feeding stations, where to place them, how to protect them from marauders, the importance of supplying water, too. Bird Houses- again specialties for different types of birds; what to buy or how to make them; where to place them; how to keep them in proper shape. Nest materials -- what to put out and where to put it. Ornamental planting to attract birds for shelter, for food. Bird calls -- to make your own or to use substitutes to attract birds. Problems of squirrels, cats, fallen young birds, and so on. Anyone, in city, suburb or country, who is interested in attracting birds will want this.
