This title is ideal for people who wish to attract birds to their
gardens, whether to aid the bird population or purely for pleasure.
The reference tables throughout identify the food and plants that
attract specific birds. It is from UK authors who have a
long-shared interest in wildlife, conservation and ecology. The
most regular contact many people have with wildlife is the pleasure
of watching birds in the garden. Readers can increase the
attraction of their garden for birds by supplementing the food,
shelter, roosting and nesting sites that are available. Hazel and
Pamela Johnson show the most effective means of ensuring that birds
will flourish and also detail the principles of sympathetic
gardening, discussing how best to enhance local habitats, whether
in cities, suburbs, a village or rural setting. Even patios and
balconies can be attractive and useful to birds and the authors
share their experience of this, devoting a chapter to the
particular concerns of small gardens. They also cover:
constructing, siting and maintaining ponds; cultivating annuals,
biennials, perennials and aquatic plants; organic gardening and
conservation issues; avoiding potential hazards; and, breeding and
feeding habits.
