Question
Can you please give me a record of how you care for a tame bird,
And list all the ways in which birds in a garden are useful to humans.
And can you please show me a website of plans on how I can contruct an avairy.
Thank-you
Lisa
Lisa: My expertise is that of wild birds, so I am unable to address how to care for a tame bird. The same is true for constructing an aviary - that is a question for someone who keeps birds.
How are birds useful in a garden? They eat insects and worms and other invertebrates that might otherwise eat your plants. You don't say what kind of garden, so I can't be any more specific. Hope that is helpful.
