Like many neo-tropical migrating wild birds, the oriole has a fondness for fruits. Fortunately for humans, orioles are one of the few neo-tropicals that build its nests near human habitats. Most of the other birds prefer the deep woods with wetlands for raising the young. Orioles have no problem using our property edges for entertaining us as they start their brood.

Tips in Buying a Bird Watching Telescope!

Bird watching is considered to be one of the fastest growing recreational activities in the United States. To date, there are more than 50 million members and the number is still growing.

It doesn’t take much to be a bird enthusiast. The individual just needs to know the different species and have a bird watching telescope around to be able to see this creature from a distance.

Some people prefer to use a pair of binoculars rather than a telescope. This is because it is easier to hold and view using both eyes instead of using just one.

Regardless of the type chosen, the two are not that different since both allow the viewer to see a far greater distance than the naked eye. Before buying, the hobbyist will have to determine certain requirements in choosing the right model that will be used for bird watching.

1. The person should check how much money could be used to buy the bird watching telescope. Those who have no problems can buy the best being sold in the market. Those who don’t have enough can settle for another brand or purchase a used one instead.

Bird Feeders—How Many Should You Have?

If your goal is to get a maximum number of species of birds in your yard, you will need to take several things into consideration.  The first thing to remember is to have several feeders placed at different locations and heights.  Things to remember when choosing a feeder:

 Ports and perches—Ports must be sized appropriately.  You must remember that fixed seeds and sunflower seeds will not fit through the smaller ports of feeders for finches.  You should offer multiple seed mixes that have multiple seed tubes.  Look for feeders that have adaptable ports so that you can switch from mixed seeds to thistle seeds.  Clinging birds such as woodpeckers nuthatches and finches prefer feeders without perches while grackles, grosbeaks, chickadees, titmice and other perching birds prefer feeders with perches.
Styles—If you are looking to attract birds that feed at branch level, hanging or post-mounted feeders would meet your needs.  Platform feeders are suitable for attracting ground feeders such as doves, cardinals, jays and juncos.  Nectar feeders are appropriate for hummingbirds and orioles.   Hopper feeders or open styles serve larger birds while tube feeders accommodate smaller birds like chickadees and finches.  Insect feeders are ideal for purple martins, robins and bluebirds.

OPTIC 1050 BINOCULARS: A Review

Every so often I come upon an item that really seems like a “too good to be true” product.  These OPTIC 1050 BINOCULARS fit that description to a T.  When I first saw the AS SEEN ON TV ad, I thought I misunderstood the pricing and all you get for the advertised price.  But, I was looking out for it later in the day, and I think all the kids just got another Christmas present they can really use.

THE BINOCULARS
The OPTIC 1050 BINOCULARS appear to be well constructed, featuring a rubber coated, shock resistant body and shatterproof lenses.  All the other features are easier view if I list them, so here goes:
1.  Up to 1000% magnification.  They say this will allow you to see up to 35 miles away.  I guess you can order one for your Uncle Henry in the next county and you can wave at each other from the front porch.
2.  Lightweight; wide angle viewing
3.  Soft rubber eye cups & eye width regulator
4.  Center focusing wheel
5.  Lens covers
6.  Soft carrying case with strap

A GOOD GIFT?
Don’t know about you, but I can remember all the times I wished I had a good pair of binoculars, but didn’t.  When the kids

Information About Bird Control

Pigeon Bird Control Information

Pigeon Birds are a public health risk for several reasons. They damage and contaminate food with their droppings and feathers. They have health effects, since they carry more than 60 diseases associated (although not considered as vectors), such as salmonellosis, ornithosis, Cryptococcosis, Hialoplasmosis and allergic alveolitis. They can act (both they and their droppings) as reservoirs of pathogens that affect humans and pets. They are carriers of ectoparasites such as ticks, fleas, lice, etc. Pigeon droppings are very slippery on the pavement, especially when it rains, being the cause of accidents and also cause other problems such as:

- Create dirt with their droppings, and contain acidic substances that are very aggressive in building materials such as stone and cause corrosion on metal surfaces.

- The seagulls can bring special problems causing noise nuisance, making lots of garbage and excrement, damage to buildings, and even attack people and pets causing this adverse effect against tourism.
