Wild birds are a wonderful addition to any garden. One of the best ways to attract them is to use a bird feeder and ensure there is a steady supply of nuts, seeds and suet for them to eat throughout the year. Bird feeders are cheap to buy and there are different designs to hold different types of wild bird food.

For peanuts, typically a tubular design made from wire is used. The holes are generally small enough for beaks to get through but too small for a nut to come out without being broken up.

For bird seed, a plastic tube with a small hole at the bottom will hold a plentiful supply and allow easy access for the smaller garden birds.

For suet, a larger diameter tube with a larger holes is ideal for holding 2 or 3 suet balls or cakes at the same time.

Typically bird feeders are hung from a tree or pole. Several feeders can be placed together to form a bird feeding station and attract lots of different bird species.

Care should be taken to place the bird feeders away from predators reach. Cats will prey on any birds feeding close to the ground and squirrels will steal the food and can vandalise the feeder. For this reason, place the bird feeder high enough off the ground and far enough away from the tree trunk, wall or building to stop cats and squirrels from jumping onto the feeder.

It is always a good idea to make sure the birds have water too when feeding them so provide a bird table or similar with a dish of water nearby to the food. Birds need food especially in winter but it is a good idea to keep feeding them throughout the year once you have started.

There are also special bird feeders designs available that include: squirrel proof bird feeders and window bird feeders.

You can find more information on bird feeders at Bird Feeders.ย As well as information on bird nest boxes, insect nest boxes, owl nest boxes, nest box cameras and other hints and tips on attracting other wildlife into your garden.ย

There are songbirds, lovebirds and pet birds. And then there are pest birds. Birds we can all do without. Birds we don't want to harm--we just want them to stay away. One way to do that is the subject of this article.

Bird Netting for Facilities Managers

If you're a facilities or plant manager, you undoubtedly know that pest birds can cost you a ton of money and aggravation . They can easily invade your aircraft hangar, factory or warehouse, gathering by the hundreds in eaves, canopies and other large covered areas. Support beams make ideal landing, roosting and nesting areas for these pest birds. If you don't keep them out with deterrents like bird netting, you'll have to contend with all sorts of problems.

One of the biggest problems with pest birds is bird droppings. Aside from being unsightly and unhealthy, droppings can stop up gutters and down pipes. They can also "freeze up" ceiling windows and vents, as well as rooftop turbine ventilators and siding windows. Bird droppings can eat into corrugated metal surfaces, cover light sensors and security cameras, even block out those new solar panels you just installed to save energy. In fact, the acid in bird droppings can eat into electrical equipment to create a fire hazard. If you manageย  a warehouse, bird droppings can spoil finished products in loading bays and storage areas. They can damage goods, and ruin the appearance of expensive finished goods. And something few facilities managers think about are slip-and-fall hazards created by bird droppings--this can become a costly legal liability should a worker or visitor become injured.

All the more reason you need an effective bird deterrent like bird netting. The good thing about today's bird netting is that it's virtually invisible and blends in with the visual aesthetic of a structure's architecture.

Bird Netting For Growers

If you're a grower or farmer, you've seen the damage pest birds can cause to cornfields, fruit orchards, and vineyards. How quickly they can attack blueberries and blackberries, and how they can invade barns, stockyards and chicken coops. And because you deal in food, you know that bird droppings, bird nests and the mites that infest them can present a health hazard, carrying and transmitting any of 60 known diseases. Sparrows and Feral Pigeons, for example, can carry bacteria causing Salmonellosis. Feral Pigeons carry Ornithosis, which resembles viral pneumonia. You may have heard about bird netting, but you'd like to know more. If so, read on.

Bird Nettingโ�ฆTypes and Sizes

So what kind of bird netting should you get? The good news is, there's a bird net for virtually every bird type and size. For large birds like pigeons and seagulls, you should go with a 1-1/8โ�� to 2โ�� mesh size.ย For smaller birds like sparrows and starlings, a smaller size in the area of 3/4" mesh would be best. Opt for ISO 1806 protocol mesh test netting for lasting strength. Some manufacturers will even custom cut the netting you need. Others offer U.V. stabilized, flame resistant and rot and waterproof netting. Not a bad idea if you install netting outdoors and leave it exposed to severe weather changes. You can get bird netting that can stand up to temperature extremes--from nets that have a flame resistant 250 degree F melting point to those that can tolerate "sub-zero" temperatures. Consider non-conductive netting in areas where electrical conductivity or radio frequency interference presents a problem.

For aircraft hangars, garages, factories, warehouses, and large canopies, you should go with heavy-duty bird netting constructed of high strength polyethylene. If you're concerned about the appearance of netting and whether it will detract from your facility's architecture, not to worry. Today's bird netting comes in several colors, including white, stone and black. One note: Black bird netting won't discolor when it gets dirty or dusty.ย Installed properly, most bird netting is almost invisible. Resilient knotted polyethylene bird netting is available in U.V. treated twine for extended life. The burst strength on these nets can be as high as 40 pounds.ย Some manufacturers offer quality constructed bird netting that comes with a long guarantee--up to 10-years.

For growers, bird netting can keep pest birds from wreaking havoc in the field. For best results, drape the net directly over the crop (or over the trees). You'll want to affix the net to a structure overhead, which will allow you to completely enclose your orchard or vineyard. One bit of advice here: Make sure you drape your nets high enough to prevent birds from sticking their beaks through to eat your crop.

One last thing to remember about bird netting. If you need to cover an airplane hangar, warehouse or any large area, you'll need thousands of square feet of netting and special lifts and power gear. This kind of job calls for a professional bird control installer. If you don't install the bird netting properly, the net will sag and droop, leaving gaps for pest birds to sneak in.

Solution: One of the most effective ways to bird proof office buildings is through the use of Bird Spikes. Pest birds like to gather on rooftops and parapet walls. They like the advantage of a high perch where they observe the goings on. They also like to build their nests around your building's A.C. units and other rooftop structures. Bird spikes deny birds--especially large birds like crows, pigeons and gulls--a place to land.

Birds can be considered a pest when they decide to roost or nest in areas where their feces and debris can be considered a hazard.ย  Each year building owners and homeowners spend countless hours and money cleaning up after and repairing the damage caused by pest birds. Not only are these problems unsightly; pest birds and their feces can spread 60 plus transmittable diseases. Safety, sanitation and health hazards caused by bird droppings can pose serious liability risks, and left untreated, can lead to accidents and lawsuits. Bird feces, bird nests and debris can also create a bad public image with tenants and patrons. Individuals, companies and government agencies are tired of cleaning up bird feces or repairing the damage that is caused by pest birds and their droppings. Instead they have decided to invest in a Bird Control Solution, which is often as simple as installing bird netting.

Bird netting is used to exclude pest birds from areas such as rooftops, warehouses, airline hangars, overhangs, eaves of homes and other enclosed areas that pest birds are to be kept out of.ย  Netting will provide 100% exclusion of pest birds and is a long-term bird control solution.ย  Bird netting comes in several different mesh sizes ranging from ยพโ�� mesh for use with all types of birds, to 2โ�� mesh to use when larger birds like pest pigeons and seagulls are a problem.ย  Netting comes in several colors as well; white, stone and black.ย  Black bird netting is usually preferred because of its natural U.V. protection and lack of discoloration due to dirt and dust.ย  When installed properly, the netting will be virtually invisible, not interfering with the architectural features of a building.

Choosing the right bird netting:

There are several types of bird netting available.ย  There is knotted polyethylene netting that is considered long lasting and heavy duty.ย  You would use this type of netting where you want a permanent solution to your bird control issues.ย  Heavy-duty bird netting is usually manufactured using U.V. treated twine providing long life.ย  Strength of these nets can be greater than 40 lbs. burst.ย  The nets will also have a high melting point and flame resistant.ย  Heavy-duty bird netting is ideal for use in warehouses, airplane hangars, canopies, overhangs and other large areas where pest birds are to be excluded.

Another type of bird netting is Polypropylene extruded plastic netting.ย  This is a strong plastic bird netting used to exclude pest birds from homes and gardens. ย It is strong yet lightweight, easy to use and install.ย  Plastic bird netting is often used to protect crops and orchards from pest birds.ย  It is ideal to protect blueberries, fruit trees and other garden plants.ย  Hanging plastic bird netting from the eaves of your home can protect it from such pest birds as swallows and woodpeckers. Plastic bird netting is not a long term netting product with about one year of usage.

Bird netting comes in different mesh sizes.ย  Choosing the correct mesh size is important. ย You do not want the birds to be able to get into the netted off area and become stuck or trapped.ย  For larger birds such as pigeons and seagulls you can use a 1-1/8โ�� to 2โ�� mesh size.ย  For smaller birds such as sparrows and starlings use a ยพโ�� to ยฝโ�� mesh size.ย  When using plastic netting to protect berries and grapes, use a ยผโ�� mesh size.

Installing bird netting:

Commercial installations for bird netting can get complicated depending on the size of the area to be protected and the material that the netting will be attached to.ย  Netting off the infrastructure of an airplane hangar can require thousands of square feet of netting and special equipment such as lifts and power equipment to install the net.ย  It is often recommended to use a professional bird control installer to get the job done correctly.ย  There are bird control installers throughout the country that have experience in installing bird netting in large quantities and complicated jobs.

Installations of bird netting on your home or in your garden can easily be done yourself.ย  For use in the garden you will cover your favorite plants with the plastic bird netting.ย  Draping the ยผโ�� mesh plastic bird netting over fruit trees will protect the fruit from pest birds.ย  It may be necessary to hire a professional to hang the netting from the eaves of our home, especially in multi-storied houses.

African finches are hardy little birds with a personality of their own. When mating they may take over larger species of birds nest; it seems they just do not realize their own size. Finches are wonderful and petite birds that are easy to care for and to love.

These beautiful birds can be kept inside as pets. They are so remarkably well-behaved and will breed if that is what is intended as long as a suitable mate is found. Their diets need to be well-rounded which should include an ample amount of clean water. This and more will be discussed in this article.

These unique finches make wonderful pets and will brighten any dull day with song and movement. They do like their privacy but seem to become more attached to their caretakers than realized. Recently an older gentleman who had African finches as pets had to be put into a nursing home. His son remained living at the household with the birds. The son took care of the birds but within about a week the birds were not acting the same. They were not singing and their appetites dropped down. The son did everything that the father was doing but nothing helped. Finally when the son noticed that these small birds were beginning to pull out their feathers did he resort to getting advice. The birds were stressed over the change in caretakers. It seems that once they are attached to a caretaker they may not take to being cared for by others.

African finches have been said to be hard to breed while in captivity. This is not the case when the experts are questioned. In many cases it is just that the right mate has not been chosen or there is too much activity around the cage. By trying a few different things the mating will eventually take place.

When choosing a breeding box for them you will have to decide whether to use the wooden or a wicker one. Although the wicker ones work well they are harder to keep clean and do not open at the top. The wooden breeder boxes for the African finches open at the top so that the breeder can keep an eye on what is going on inside. This is necessary in case some of the eggs are not fertile or a hatchling dies. These will need to be removed for the health of the other chicks.

When nesting, they like the nests to be placed on the lower section of the cages. The fun thing to watch is that many times the male will also build a nest for him on the top of the breeder box if it is set inside of the cage. Obviously those that are on the outside of the cages are not accessible to the male. While the female works on the inside he is busy building and showing off his nest.

Another fun thing to note with the mating of African finches is the male when he is doing his mating dance. Not only does he sing but also he does the singing with a long piece of grass in his mouth. It is quite entertaining to watch. These adorable birds will bring much joy to the novice and the expert of birds alike.
