Replacing bird habitat?
A housing development is removing loads of 20 year-old (ish) trees from
behind my house. What are the best things I can plant to replace this lost habitat? What's the best way of going about it? ROSIE |

ROSIE Leave spaces in your roof for sparrows to nest? I doubt 20 year old trees produce much habitat for birds, probably if a reasonable proportion of people in those new houses put out food for birds, or just leave scraps lying around, there will be a richer habitat for birds than previously. Almost certainly if they do it in the winter time when the trees provide no food and little shelter. -- Tumbleweed Remove my socks for email address |
