Extractions: Feeding Wild Birds Feeder Types Choosing Bird Food Feeder Location ... Nuisance Birds Location, location, location... Be careful not to locate your feeder too close to cover, though. Nearby branches can provide good jumping-off points for seed-hungry squirrels and bird-hungry cats. A distance of about 10 feet seems to be a good compromise, but try experimenting. You can provide resting and escape cover for ground-dwelling birds such as Song Sparrows, by placing loosely-stacked brush piles near your feeders. Beware of placing your feeder near windows; birds may collide with them. Ornithologists estimate that window strikes kill millions of birds each year. Go to our Attracting Birds: Challenges page to find out how to prevent window strikes. Hummingbird feeders: If you're putting out a hummingbird feeder, make sure it's protected from the wind; a swaying feeder may spill sugar solution. Also, try putting the feeder in the shade because sugar solution spoils quickly in the sun. To attract hummingbirds, tie red ribbons around the feeder so they flutter in the breeze.
Feeding Behavior In Birds group researched and determined a location to observe the feeding habits in birds. The location decided on was located http://cas.bellarmine.edu/tietjen/images/feeding_behavior_in_birds.htm
Extractions: Feeding Behavior in Birds (A study in intra- and inter-species competition) Bellarmine College, Louisville, Kentucky) Aaron Glasscock G.W. Johns Keri Owen December 11, 1998 Abstract: Birds have always been of interest to the human population. Birds have served as the source of inspiration to flight, sources of myths, and as companions. Competition has also been a large part of human existence, it is not only an aspect of life it is also an interest to man. With this in mind, it was the interest of this group to study birds in a setting that would be conducive to observing the interactions and competition among birds. This group set out to determine the degree of competition found in birds, both intra- and inter-species. Purpose: To observe and record the interactions among birds, both intra- and inter-species competition, through the observation of the feeding behaviors in birds. Method: Feed was placed in both feeders and maintained for approximately one week before observations were made. After the initial week, observations were made during four different periods throughout the day for approximately one month. The four different observation periods were in the morning, noon, afternoon, and early evening. Feed was maintained in the feeders during the month. The number of birds, both in total numbers and the numbers within a specific species were observed. The different species present were observed and noted. The behavior of the birds was also noted. Result: The data collected during the month was averaged to correspond to data representing one day.
Nest Locations Of Birds Many seabirds and some songbirds and birds of prey nest on cliffs,another location that will be safe from predators. The nest site http://www.paulnoll.com/Oregon/Birds/nest-location.html
Extractions: Nest Locations of Birds If asked to picture a typical bird nest, most people think of a bowl-shaped nest woven of twigs and grasses and situated in a tree, a shrub, or in dense grass. Most common songbirds of our forests, fields, and gardens use this type of nest. But birds nest in places ranging from treetops to holes in the ground. Nesting in dense cover, especially off the ground, provides safety from predators. For the same reason, many species nest in cavities in trees or in birdhouses. Woodpeckers excavate their own holes in trees; Bluebirds, House Wrens, starlings, Tree Swallows, and screech-owls use abandoned woodpecker holes or existing tree cavities. The hornbill of Africa takes the protection aspect a step further: The male seals the cavity opening with mud after the female sits on the nest. The male passes food to its mate, and later to the chicks, through a small opening in the wall. Birds make a wide variety of nests in holes in the ground. The Belted Kingfisher excavates a tunnel and nest chamber in the face of a bank, usually near a stream. Burrowing Owls often nest in dens abandoned by prairie dogs of other mammals. Many seabirds such as puffins, auklets, and storm-petrels escape dangers of predatory gulls, which nest on the same islands, by laying and incubating their eggs in dirt burrows or crevices in pile of rocks. For these species the choice of an island colony nest site provides them with protection from mammalian predators.

Biological Bird Navigators Unlike the compasses that are thought to help birds determine direction,this map is believed to help birds determine location. http://www.paulnoll.com/Oregon/Birds/migrate-biological.html
Extractions: Biological Bird Navigators After about three decades of experiments on homing pigeons, scientists currently have two viable hypotheses concerning the "mapping" ability of birds. Although only homing pigeons have been studied, there is good reason to believe that migratory birds also rely on some sort of biological map to find their way back to traditional nesting or wintering sites. The first hypothesis, conceived and tested primarily by a group of Italian scientists, involves an "odor map." The scientists propose that young pigeons learn this map by smelling different odors that reach their home loft on winds from varying directions. They would, for example, learn that a certain odor arrives on winds blowing from the east. If a pigeon is transported eastward from its loft it should smell that odor more strongly either on the way to or at the release site. This should tell the pigeon that it needs to fly westward to return home. Although it may sound preposterous to some, there is a large amount of evidence supporting this hypothesis. However, even its strongest proponents do not extend the idea to include long-distance migrants. Neither hypothesis has been proven to the satisfaction of all the experts, so new and different experiments continue to be performed. It may turn out that neither of these alternatives is correct, or a synthesis of the two may emerge.

Extractions: Location, Cleanliness of Feeder is Key MANHATTAN, Kan. Birding is the fastest growing activity in the country, growing more than 200 percent since 1983. One of the local activities gaining popularity involves bird feeding, said Kansas State University Research and Extension agent Chuck Otte. According to the National Survey on Recreation and the Environment, more than 33 percent of American adults enjoy at least a mild form of bird watching. Due to the popularity, hobbyists may encounter struggles with their efforts to get started with the feeding project. Some challenges will need to be dealt with, others can be ignored, said Otte, Geary County agriculture Extension agent. Sanitation - When birds spend time in a concentrated setting, the potential for transmitting diseases greatly increases. Otte recommends cleaning seasonal feeders at the start and middle of the season, while every three months for year-round feeders. "This is a critical step," Otte said. "Fortunately, with changing weather some of these problems take care of themselves, yet many times a little cleaning is necessary."

Extractions: In Britain some of the birds we consider common such as the sparrow are in decline, reasons why are not fully understood. You can help by putting food and water out for birds - in winter it is recommended putting out high energy food such as fat, birdcake seed and nuts. Try to avoid nylon mesh bags as they can trap birds feet. Spring and Summer feeding is not advisable unless you know what you are doing, at this time birds require high protein foods such as mealworms sunflower seeds and currants. Peanuts and bread are not recommended as they can be harmful if brought to nestlings.
