As any casual watcher of birds know, they love trees. Trees allow them to set up nesting high enough to provide them with safe spots above the ground where they can rest as well as keep a lookout for easy food. And, if your garden has no trees, you can give them similar benefits by setting up perches in your yard. Although, primarily used by pet owners as a resting place for their bird when outside of his cage, bird perches are perfect accessories for the birds visiting your garden as well.

Seriously consider planting some annuals in your garden. They will add brightness and color to it. but, in addition, the seeds from them serve as food sources for many birds. But, once the flowers are spent, don’t trim them off as many gardeners do. Leaving them natural will ensure that when the summer rolls to its end that the birds have plenty of seeds from the annuals to help them prepare themselves for the winter.

The perfect bird garden has tons of bushes and trees. For the most part, these plants should be located on the garden edges and sides. As for the center, leave it as primarily a lawn or grass area. This center area provides the birds with plenty of room to be out in the open where they can hunt for insects while, at the same time, making it hard for predators to sneak up on therm because of the wide unobstructed grassy area.

You might try keeping a stack of old logs at the perimeters of your garden also. Having a pile of old logs on the edges of your yard is nice touch also, A lot of  insects and bugs are attracted to wooden structures. The birds in your yard may find this one of their favorite eating places once they notice many of the bugs congregating there.

A compost device is a great way of producing natural fertilizer for the plant life in your garden. Birds love them as well. They will take full advantage of some of the food scraps that you throw on the composter pile.

Plus after you have gone to all the trouble to create the perfect garden for birds, don’t forget to enjoy it yourself.

If you are a really serious bird lover and bird watcher, you have probably already set up your yard with bird houses, feeders, bird baths, and all sorts of other amenities to attract birds to your yard. You might also seriously consider buying a desk diary and documenting the birds that you see in your garden.

Keep a bird diary. Track the species of birds, how many there are, the time of day that they show up, and the date. Also, take pictures and store them along with the diary. You may be surprised at the fond memories that these give you in your later years.

Taurus
You are brooding emotion incarnate. One minute you’re up, the next you’re down, the next you’ve shot your favorite newscaster in the kneecaps, “just ‘cuz.”. You’re very earthy, which may mean that you don’t shower as often as most people. Or it may just mean that you like to roll around with your nose in clover and sigh. Taureans love happy movies where everyone is jolly and having fun, but they fight with waiters and get upset with billboards. They like to psychoanalyze their friends but have no real experience with life in general. Taureans mumble while describing philosophical concepts.
The Taurus is a strange bird because he or she holds grudges about things that never actually happened. This may stem from the feelings of inadequacy resulting from being beaten out for first in line in the zodiac by Aries. That is the Taurean self-image, always second best. However, they are undoubtedly the best at feeling like second best. All Taureans want to be God. Unfortunately, God is an Aries. You are generally tough to figure out because you answer every question with a question. Also, you won’t come out from under the bed. Most Taureans love conflict. If nothing is wrong, then that in itself is something wrong. Some especially like bar fights. If they can’t get into an actual bar fight, they will make up interesting stories about them which they can tell their friends right before they psychoanalyze them. If it weren’t for Bazooka Joe and The Family Circus, Taureans wouldn’t know what to do. You feel that you are going nowhere in life. You are probably right. Milwaukee is full of Taureans. Taureans are impatient and pushy. They are in a tremendous hurry to get to the nowhere that they intend to go to. They make little dioramas of their homes, complete with tiny effigies of the people they know, and act out scenarios of the way things would be if they were God.

Gemini
Everyone loves a Gemini because everyone loves a schizophrenic. You like to think that you are a half-and half mixture of Socrates and Michelangelo, but in reality it’s more like Prince and Bea Arthur. You are progressive, outgoing, and one of the most popular rides at Cedar Point. However, you can and will negate all of this by the time you’re finished reading this sentence. Geminis drive funny cars. They often drive them into trees or buildings. Geminis are pushy and overbearing. They pick fights with small children and moon people at weddings. They like to use Libras as punching bags. A bisexual Gemini is a walking double date. The rest are hermaphrodites. Geminis vandalize their own houses.
Geminis use far-fetched analogies to describe philosophical concepts. Geminis rarely compete in the Olympics. When they do, it is usually pool or air hockey. Frogger turns up as well. Geminis are always on some sort of medication. This medication is not always legal. Gemini is Latin for “I’m okay, I’m okay.” Geminis speak very loudly in order to be heard. This is unfortunate as they are nearly always talking to themselves. In fact, they often pick animated arguments with themselves in the bathtub. The most famous Gemini in history is Orville and Wilbur Wright. Geminis are frequently abidextrous, which means that they can pick both sides of their noses at the same time. The Gemini is essentially nothing more than a paranoid Aquarius.

Cancer
You like to know what’s going on in the lives of everyone in the galaxy. However, you tend not know know what’s going on in your own. If you are lucky, your friends will tell you. Cancerians only get dressed because they have to, and their fashion sense can only be described as “erratic.” You are more likely than any other sign in the zodiac (except Pisces, who does not iron) to iron your clothes by sleeping with them sandwiched between the mattress and box-spring. Likewise, you can stretch one pair of underwear out for almost a month. Your home is like your very own Biodome, and you can remain indoors for months at a time. Despite your need to be everyone’s savior, you need no social interaction. SWAT teams often show up, mistakenly thinking there’s a hostage situation.
A Cancer is like a walking Ladies’ Home Journal, quick on the draw with shortcake recipes and helpful hints on how to talk to your teen. Whether they know it or not, they are all born with an exceptional talent for cross-stitch. So much for buying the world a Coke – they would breast-feed the world if they could. This trait is not gender-specific. You will never excel in sports because you have to rest for fifteen minutes every time you breathe. You do not mind, since you plan to conduct your career from the comfort of your own bed. You maintain your questionable health through a steady diet of Ho-Ho’s and beer. You also imbibe a great deal of Pepto-Bismol in order to confuse your numerous ulcers. People walk on you often. Actually, not often – all the time. If you think someone is screwing you, you’re probably right. The most entertaining thing about this is that you like it. You strive to be a doormat. Cancerians coin their own words to describe philosophical concepts. This is why it is no surprise that George W. Bush is a Cancer. Cancerians have minimal influence over their friends, even though they show up with homemade soup to remedy every minor or major tragedy. However, they wield their power through the fact that they know what everyone is thinking at any given time. This is why they are never invited to parties. Cancerians claim to be “tactful”. The word for this is actually “shiftless”. Cancerians are always appointed to take their drunken, drooling friends home. These friends are usually Pisceans

Leo
You will grab attention in any way you possibly can. Self-immolation is not out of the question. You like to kiss mirrors a lot. Genghis Khan was a Leo, and so is Barney the Dinosaur. People still love Lucy, but less because she was a Leo. Leos will interrupt conversation to talk, and they will place themselves bodily in the way of someone who is trying to leave before the Leo is finished saying what he or she needs to say. All Leos want parades on their birthdays. Leos never marry because no one is good enough for them. If they do marry, they keep their spouses locked under the bathroom sink. They need physical affection at all times; unfortunately, they can’t find any because everyone thinks they are irritating punks. This is why so many of the people arrested for necrophilia are Leos.
A Leo uses himself as an example of the Overman in order to describe philosophical concepts. Some Leos decide to be homosexual even if they aren’t, because they think this gives them shock value. It actually means that neither gender will want to hook up with them. In actuality, anything besides a romantic evening with themselves is considered a step down for the Leo. Leos open doors by screaming at them. They expect their Clappers to applaud when they enter a room. Leos are said to resemble lions. This means that they are loud, have cleft upper lips and slimy noses, and s**t under trees as they walk. They snack on monkeys while watching “Entertainment Tonight”. Humility frightens Leos. That is why Jesus was a Capricorn, Buddha was an Aries, and so forth. However, “radical cult leader” is not out of the question. Leos like to start fights with Aries. They will stomp and bloody each other regardless of whether or not they are in public. In fact, the Leos usually prefer it. You will see these fights taking place at bars, sporting events, fashion shows, or Taco Bell. If you are a clever Capricorn, you will sell tickets. Don’t worry about hanging posters–Leo will take care of that in advance. Aquarians hang posters of rock stars on their walls. Scorpios hang posters of famous disasters on their walls. Capricorns hang posters of great mathematicians on their walls. Pisceans hang posters of unicorns on their walls. Leos hang posters of themselves on their walls.

Virgo
You are a pain in the ***. You regulate your breathing and color-coordinate the clothes in your closet. No Virgo in history has ever belched. Virgos clean every square inch of everything they own twice daily with a toothbrush. Everything has its place, and yours is on the floor scrubbing with a magnifying glass, checking for germs. Obsessive-compulsive disorder? A nice euphemism for the word “Virgo”. Virgos use pointers and elaborate charts to describe philosophical concepts. You commit a lot of drive-by shootings. When you are questioned, you tell the police that it was because “the bastard had a filthy car”. The police usually let you go because they are Virgos too. It is easy to freak out a Virgo. Tell them they have something between their teeth. Then watch them scrub frantically at the imaginary thing. Virgos are a hell of a lot of fun for assholes like us. Hell for a Virgo is being locked up in an elevator for eternity with a naked Aquarius. That is because in hell, Aquarians are allowed to bring beer, which they leave all over the floor.
Virgos, however, have to surrender their brooms and squeegees to God. Virgos also have a hard time coping when they find out there’s something under the fridge. But it’s usually just a depressed Taurus. Virgos have read enough Hints from Heloise to know that the depressed Taurus can be coaxed out from under the fridge with a banana wine cooler. Virgos don’t see the world in shades of black and white. They see it in shades of clean and dirty. Cat hair makes Virgos foam at the mouth. Virgos are cool because they will do your laundry for you. They’ll separate everything by color and fabric until it consists of fourteen loads of three things apiece. Then they will put them in the washer in alphabetical order by name of manufacturer. Virgos are often found opening and shutting the refrigerator door, attempting to trick the light inside. Don’t put cheese where it doesn’t belong in a Virgo’s refrigerator. He or she will go Jack Torrence on your ***. You will be stabbed with a cuticle pusher. Jack Torrence was probably a Virgo in the first half of “The Shining”. After that, he went all Leo.

Libra
You are oh-so-elegant and tasteful to the point of incurring nausea from loved ones. You are also bipolar as hell and can’t make a decision on your own. You usually consult your therapist or TV Guide. Libras are trendy and malleable folks. They are funny because they will glom onto something they hated before if it suddenly becomes fashionable. Velour is not entirely lost upon these people. Libras eat a lot of ethnic food from cultures they don’t understand. They single-handedly started the cappucino movement. Ask them why, and they will claim something unintelligible about solidarity. You constantly worry about what other people think. If you really paid any attention, maybe people would like you more. Libras use quotes from David Mamet plays to describe philosophical concepts. Then they have those concepts engraved upon nice little wallet cards.
The Libran interest in current events ends with the J. Crew catalog. They don’t eat fast food or have any clue where their trash goes. They have other people tie their expensive shoes. Only two Libras have ever been found in thrift stores. All of their bell-bottoms were color-coordinated to match their lamé turtlenecks. Libras are always on the cutting edge of what the rest of us think is absolute pretentious bulls**t. They have huge collections of CDs they’ve never even listened to. Libras give to designer charities. Hollywood is full of Libras. You are the reason butterfly hairpins and parachute pants have made a comeback. Next on the list is those big jam shorts. You probably never threw out your old pair. Hang on to your Winger t-shirt too. Get a Libra as drunk as possible and he or she will still be able to explain the difference between café latté and café au lait. This is peculiar as the rest of us know that there is no difference at all.

Scorpio
You got into computers early so you could use made-up, bulls**t terminology and get away with it. Most hackers are Scorpios, as are most people who think they’re going to find fame on a chat board. You embarrass Libras because you like your coffee straight out of the bag, eaten with a spoon. You may have actually snorted Chock Full o’ Nuts at one time in your life. You take your paranoid beatnik approach to life very seriously. Many Scorpios have found ways to successfully smoke in the shower. Your number-one grudge is about never having been abducted by aliens, or being the victim of a government conspiracy. Most of those fake virus warnings or cash offers from Bill Gates are your attempt to stir something up. Ironically, Bill Gates is a Scorpio. The fully-automated barracks he lives in should clear up any doubt.
Your master plan for world domination will never work because it involves you at the helm. It is hard for you to accept that Star Trek is fiction, and you are not a Borg leader. Scorpios use expletives to describe philosophical concepts. It’s no wonder that Halloween falls smack in the middle of the Scorpio range. This is the only time of year when fake hauntings, sugar-induced hysteria, and impersonating Dr. Who won’t get you arrested. Scorpios have strong sex drives, because it gives them yet another opportunity to smoke. Scorpios have much advice to give on matters that are of no concern to them. If you want to find out if someone is a Scorpio, ask them a pertinent question. Five minutes of silence later, the answer will be “I’m sorry, what?” Scorpios are often hairy and feel that this makes them more virile. This is especially true of Scorpio women. Scorpios cheat at the lottery. If it’s automated, they can hack it.

Sagittarius
Sagittarians are born adventurers. They like smashing spiders with their bare hands and trying to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night with the lights out. They would sooner sustain crippling injury than do anything the easy way. Sagittarians love to entertain their friends, family, and total strangers. This often includes transvesticism. Nearly every Sagittarian was born into the wrong gender. Sagittarians are loud and have no social graces. They seek to offend. Sagittarians usually have nicknames like Thunderpooper or Vomitus Maximus. Animals and small children love Sagittarians. This is unfortunate since adults usually hate them. However, Sagittarians make excellent circus freaks and vagrants. Sagittarians use interpretive dance to describe philosophical concepts. Buttons and bumper stickers with rude sayings on them are a trademark of the Sagittarian. They throw food at expensive restaurants and ask lots of questions in the middle of church.
Don’t ever bring a Sagittarius home to meet your parents. He or she will tie up your mother and pants your dad. Famous Sagittarians include the Geo Metro. The holiday during which the sun is in Sagittarius is Thanksgiving. This is highly appropriate since everyone eats until they’re sick and passes out while a bunch of cross-dressers and huge inflatable things wander through the streets of New York, the most Sagittarian town in the universe. The Shriners driving around in the tiny little cars are a very Sagittarian image. Even more so if there’s a ridiculously busty woman stuffed into the car as well. A Sagittarius is always a better Madonna than Madonna. Men can pull off sequins, and women can pull off construction helmets. The Sagittarius is incapable of being unhip.

Capricorn
Capricorns are hardworking, reliable, and dull as hell. They are always on the move, headed to their next delusion of grandeur. They are often good at math which explains why they are such pains in the ***. René Descartes was a great mathematician and a crappy philosopher, so he must have been a Capricorn. Stephen Hawking is even more Capricorn because he’s all of the above and a pompous S.O.B. to boot. Sure, he’s overcome a lot of obstacles etc. etc., but even in perfect health you can’t overcome being a Capricorn. Most politicians are Capricorns, which is why our country is always in the hole. It is not surprising that politicians need so much security around them all the time. Capricorns are like a strange cross between a Leo and a Virgo. They think that this makes them both charismatic and logical. In reality, it means that they are tight-assed and nitpicky, and have to keep their egos in the backyard.
In the event of nuclear war, only cockroaches and Capricorns would find a way to survive. The rest of us just don’t want to live in a world like that. The nation’s cockeyed system of toll roads was probably designed by a freakin’ Capricorn. They learn how to screw the public over at an early age. Their parents buy them books of law for Christmas so they can underline the loopholes. Capricorns cannot even fathom, much less describe, philosophical concepts because they don’t involve equations. (See comments about Descartes and Hawking above) Capricorns own lots of Filofaxes and other tools to organize the lives they do not have. They love to be seen talking on their cell phones. These phones are not actually turned on because Capricorns don’t have any friends to call. Capricorns went out of style in 1989. They still believe that Trump was a visionary. Most of the people arrested for counterfeiting are Capricorns

Aquarius
The Aquarius loves a party. Anytime, anywhere is their motto. It is not unlikely that an Aquarius will consider a wake a good place to meet chicks. Aquarians tend to be nostalgic about the 1960s because that was the last time they could be naked in public and get away with it. Aquarians love to be naked. It is even better if they are naked and crocked. 97.4% of the Night Train consumed in the past thirty years has been consumed by Aquarians. Almost every Aquarian will claim to have seen Jerry Garcia’s image in their Froot Loops at least once. Froot Loops is a very Aquarian cereal. So is Rice Krispies, since it will engage in a friendly chat with the Aquarian as he or she is eating breakfast. Count Chocula is off-limits, however. It belongs to the Scorpios. Aquarians are the only people in the zodiac who can play volleyball with themselves. And they frequently do.
Aquarians use the phrase “Dude, man…” frequently when describing philosophical concepts. Aquarians have out-of-body experiences on a daily basis. If you are talking to an Aquarian and he or she zones out, consider the conversation hopeless. He or she is talking to the guy three feet away from you. Aquarians are fun because they channel people. Plus, if you tell them to, they will run around naked. Aquarians like astronomy because they’ve been to all those places. If you want to know what the food is like on Saturn, ask an Aquarius. They can also walk on water if they try really really hard. This usually happens in the bathtub. Aquarians can allow themselves every possible vice on the planet, and don’t think twice about it. That is why they piss everyone else off. They are cosmically entitled to do this. Most rock stars are Aquarians.

Pisces
Everywhere you go, laughter and comedy ensue. This would be great if you were trying to be funny. You are deeply confused by the idea of sex. As far as you are concerned, if it didn’t happen in “The Velveteen Rabbit”, it doesn’t exist. Piscean women wear long floaty dresses and enormous amounts of unusual silver jewelry. On hikes. Pisceans claim to love the stars, but the only constellation they can find is the Big Dipper. If they cannot find it, they cry. You remember what you were wearing on March 3rd, 1981 but forget your own address. You have no sense of direction. The people you find going in reverse at 70 m.p.h. on the expressway are usually Pisceans. Pisceans are most likely to die by falling out of a window or getting run over by a truck. That is, of course, unless they live with a Cancer.
Pisceans are so zoned and perpetually endangered that they can bring out the maternal instincts of a Leo. Don’t be fooled, however; many Pisceans can surprise you by kicking your *** and the asses of your four imaginary friends. While Leos tend to achieve the most fame in the field of entertainment, Pisceans strive to achieve historical greatness by sheer fluke. They are proud to tell you that Michelangelo, Galileo, George Washington, and Albert Einstein, none of whom had an agent, were all Pisceans. What they won’t tell you is that so is Ted Kennedy. Pisceans claim to want “honest criticism” of their work. Then they commit hara-kiri on the floor when you say you don’t like it. Never try to use logic with a Pisces; he or she is living about three feet off of the natural ground or in Narnia. Their tools of debate are non-sequiturs, quotes from Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and, of course, crying. It wouldn’t matter what linguistic devices Pisceans use to describe philosophical concepts because they aren’t positive they know what they’re talking about anyway. You cry over dead animals in the road but feel no remorse about mowing down humans you don’t like. Cancerians say one thing and do another. Scorpios say one thing and do it just for spite. Pisceans say far too much and do whatever the hell they want.
I am Aries, I must say I do resemble some of these remarks. I’m always bumping my head & I can relate to Hard Headed Women by Cat Stevens and I won’t bring a knife to a gun fight ENJOY!

One of the biggest challenges these gardeners will face are pests. Concerted efforts in the garden can lead to disappointment if pests are not properly addressed on time. It’s no wonder then that pesticides are a garden center staple, many carrying an arsenal of pest control products, solutions for snails, spiders, aphids, deer, you can find it all… but what about pest birds?

It may be hard to image why anyone would want to repel a bird. Birds are one of Mother Nature’s most diverse, intelligent species & inviting birds into garden spaces can be very rewarding. In fact, most centers make sure to stock bird baths, houses, and even bird seed.

But ask a home owner who just lost a substantial amount of the blueberries or cherries they planted, or someone who has trouble keeping birds away from their grass seed, and they will undoubtedly agree; birds are a force to be reckoned with in the garden.

Birds have presented themselves as a formidable garden foe for ages.  In fact the first mention of a “scarecrow” was found in the year 712 in the “Kojiki” known to be the oldest surviving book in Japan.

It’s no surprise then that many backyard gardeners have experienced the disappointment of working hard all season, only to have birds gobble up the fruits of their labor, literally. After tending the soil, planting the seeds, nourishing the plants, and repelling the common pests, birds can swoop in for the prize. The situation is common with many gardeners, and farmers, whether its blueberries, broccoli, ground seed, or other backyard edibles.

So is there relief for the gardeners looking to repel pesky birds? Bird deterrents have come a long way since the scarecrow, but are still rooted in tradition. Visual deterrents remain to be a very effective means of discouraging birds. Along with scare crows, and other visual deterrents like Flash Tape and Diverters, there are many products available to help keep birds away from precious crops.

It is most effective to start treating your edibles right before they ripen. If you are using a visual deterrent, moving, or replacing them with other visual deterrents a few weeks after placing them will give the best results. This helps prevent the birds from getting used to and comfortable with the items. Taking an active roll in discouraging birds, by moving, or using a combination of items will yield the best results.

One such visual deterrent widely used today is a reflective film called Flash Tape, which can be hung, or strung without plants, vines, and trees. The shiny reflective surface and movement of the tape in wind works to scare birds from the area. Flash tape usually comes in rolls anywhere from 50 to 150 feet long, by 1 or 2 inches wide. You can cut strips of the tape and tie them or secure them to your plants. When birds come near the area, the will see the reflective strips, and want to avoid the area. The flash tape can also be tied to poles or stakes set around the garden. Diverters and Balloons are two other visual deterrents that can be hung throughout plants to keep pest birds away.

Netting is also a great way to deter birds from fruit trees, vines, and other edibles. The netting acts as a physical barrier between the birds, and their next free meal. This is perhaps the most effective way to keep your plants safe. There are lightweight plastic mesh nets routinely used by blueberry and cherry farmers. Many people will suspend netting from a series of poles; others will wrap plants in netting to insure that they are protected.

Beyond netting, and visual deterrents, there are also sound deterrents available. Sound deterrents such as the Bird Chase Super Sonic, are weatherproof, and can cover large open spaces. The Bird Chase Super Sonic has the ability to cover between 1-5 acres of land. Sound deterrents use predator calls, and distress calls to deter birds from the area.

With a little planning, protecting a backyard garden from pest birds can be easy and effective. Best of all, you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Gray leaf

Clinging to the edge of the branch of the trunk it holds
Watching its fallen brothers discolored in folds
Stem running cold, akin to the crunches below
Color running, bleeding, clinging

Wind falls rushing down to strain it off, off- off
Weak in its open surrounding, clinging so soft
Tucking in tight, preparing for it
Color running, bleeding, clinging

Where to but traveling time, down and around
Struck by the colorful grave, not yet bound
Branches swaying, trunk wrinkled old
Color running, bleeding, clinging

Fallen through, with an old doff to the tree
Seeing through its descent-

An elusive shadow that breaks real sticks
A transparent tree casting jagged shadows
A ghost man walking the concrete streets
A dead bird flying, falling with each beat

Seeing more as it’s gusted along
Not for fighting, nor flying, simply to prolong
No longer a real petal in an imaginary world
But a crumpled figment fallen in an spherical twirl

Passing through an unreal cloud
Pushed between surreal rooftops
Brushed by the fur of a lost dog
Simply now wanting to leave this fog

Suddenly awakening, leafing back
Passing up on a rushing track
Yet too late declares the wind
Suddenly too low, plummeting back

Passing emptiness yet again
Those illusory objects real but to stand
Not wanting to join them, nor the colored cemetery
Color running, bleeding clinging

And yet, gray leaf, gray, tree bark peeling
Gray leaf, gray, no longer fleeting

There will be a main door in all bird cages that can be kept fully locked. Besides that, there will be 2 or more feeder doors, and a grate and a bottom tray that can be slid out and replaced. The main door may open to the side or to the top. Except for very small cages that are designed to be hung around a home, all other bird cages come fitted with casters that make their transporting easy. Some are designed to be removed from the stand and carried by hand when necessary. With various combinations and sizes to choose from, the choice of most bird owners would have to depend on the size of the bird, and the space in their home where they hope to accommodate the cage.

One way of beautifying bird cages is by setting up perches, steps, and toys within the cage with the eye of an interior decorator. Readymade bird cages will have built in perches but users can increase the number of perches with natural twigs and branches, which will give a realistic, touch to the cage and will make the bird more comfortable. Unlike the built-in perch, the additional perches can be rearranged frequently to give a fresh look to the cage.

Keeping small colorful steps, made of cardboard or steel and stuck with colored papers, will make the bird cages attractive and will give some exercise to the bird as it will hop up and down those steps. Those who attempt to accommodate such addenda should also have the patience to redo it frequently since the birds will easily damage such paper objects by tearing at them with their beak and by spilling food and drink over it. Flowers on the perches will also beautify bird cages. When keeping flowers, whether natural or artificial, it should be confirmed beforehand that chewing them are not likely create any allergic or other negative reactions in the bird.

A caged bird is deprived of the natural ponds and puddles in which it can dunk now and then. Getting birdbaths can make this up. Colorful plastic bird baths are available that can be attached to the horizontal bars of the bird cages. These will satisfy the bird and beautify the cage at the same time. Attachable birdbaths will have locking clips with which they can be clipped and removed from the cage as necessary. And those who are innovative can use many leftover knickknacks of their home, and wild growth of the yard, to decorate and beautify their bird cages.

Bird cage

This is, of course, the most important of the bird supplies that you willbuy.  Your bird cage should be big enough to allow your bird to exercise freely and be comfortable.  The cage needs to be big enough so that your bird can spread and flap its wings freely without hitting it on the sides of the cage, and the bars need to be narrow enough so that it can’t get its head caught in between them.

Toys

All birds love to play, so you should get your birds a lot of toys.  There are rings that they can hang on, perches, balls, and other things that your bird is going to love. You should also get your bird some mirrors, because a lot of birds enjoy looking at themselves in the mirror.   Just like any other pet, birds love to play, and that is why toys are important bird supplies.

Food

Every animal needs to eat, so you will need to buy your bird some food. But make sure that you are looking at the different foods to so that you know you are getting the right food for the right kind of bird.  A type of food that is right for one type of bird won’t be right for another kind of bird, so it’s important when you are buying bird supplies that you choose food for your specific type of bird.

Assorted Other things

As well as the bird cage and the other bird supplies, you willfind that there are a lot of other things that you can get your bird. There are bird baths, dishes, and treats that you can get for your feathered friend.  You can also make your own bird supplies and use your imagination to make the things that you think your bird is going to like.  Remember, birds like shiny things and they like to swing and climb, so see what you can do to help them have fun in their bird cage.

You should make sure that you are offering your bird a lot of different things to keep them interested and help them to enjoy the time that they are living with you.  Just like you wouldn’t give a child, a cat, or a dog only one thing to play with, make sure that you are giving your bird lots of fun things to play with in their bird cage.  A busy bird is a happy bird, and buying bird supplies doesn’t just mean buying food and perches. It means getting your bird the toys and things that it’s going to love.  The happier your bird is, the longer it’s going to be with you.  A happy bird will have a life that is longer and fuller.
