Book Synopsis Feeding Wild Birds in America by : Paul J. Baicich
Download or read book Feeding Wild Birds in America written by Paul J. Baicich and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, more than fifty million Americans feed birds around their homes, and over the last sixty years, billions of pounds of birdseed have filled millions of feeders in backyards everywhere. Feeding Wild Birds in America tells why and how a modest act of provision has become such a pervasive, popular, and often passionate aspect of people’s lives. Each chapter provides details on one or more bird-feeding development or trend including the “discovery” of seeds, the invention of different kinds of feeders, and the creation of new companies. Also woven into the book are the worlds of education, publishing, commerce, professional ornithology, and citizen science, all of which have embraced bird feeding at different times and from different perspectives. The authors take a decade-by-decade approach starting in the late nineteenth century, providing a historical overview in each chapter before covering topical developments (such as hummingbird feeding and birdbaths). On the one hand, they show that the story of bird feeding is one of entrepreneurial invention; on the other hand, they reveal how Americans, through a seemingly simple practice, have come to value the natural world.

Book Synopsis The Birds at My Table by : Darryl Jones
Download or read book The Birds at My Table written by Darryl Jones and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darryl Jones is fascinated by bird feeders. Not the containers supplying food to our winged friends, but the people who fill the containers. Why do people do this? Jones asks in The Birds at My Table. Does the food even benefit the birds? What are the unintended consequences of providing additional food to our winged friends? Jones takes us on a wild flight through the history of bird feeding. He pinpoints the highs and lows of the practice. And he ponders this odd but seriously popular form of interaction between humans and wild animals. Most important, he points out that we know very little about the impact of feeding birds despite millions of people doing it every day. Unerringly, Jones digs at the deeper issues and questions, and he raises our awareness of the things we don’t yet know and why we really should. Using the latest scientific findings, The Birds at My Table takes a global swoop from 30,000 feet down to the backyard bird feeder and pushes our understanding of the many aspects of bird feeding back up to new heights.

Book Synopsis Relative Attractiveness of Different Foods at Wild Bird Feeders by : Aelred D. Geis
Download or read book Relative Attractiveness of Different Foods at Wild Bird Feeders written by Aelred D. Geis and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relative attractiveness of various seeds used to feed wild birds was measured. This information, with data on consumption rates and costs, provides a basis for determining the most efficient materials for use in bird feeders in residential areas. Many common bird foods, such as fine cracked corn, wheat, sorghum, hulled oats, and rice, were found to be relatively unattractive. Seeds of the small black oil-type sunflower were superior to those of the black striped and gray striped sunflowers. White proso millet was the best seed for use in attracting the small seed-eating species. Feeding preferences among various species of birds are strikingly different; consequently it is difficult to formulate a mixture of seeds that would be efficient at all locations and at all times.
