A Bird House Will Attract More Beauty To Your Backyard Garden
Why A Bird House?
Does having and maintaining a bird house have any importance in your world? Let’s go back a bit and examine our assumptions.
In the early 1990s someone did the math on the population explosion and figured that if all the people on earth stood about shoulder to shoulder and front to back, comfortably close but without touching, every man, woman, and child on earth could fit in a space slightly larger than the land area of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Even if that math is radically off, certainly the people-space of earth is not larger than one state, say even Texas.
Intellectually we know that this is true. There are VAST areas of earth’s land mass which house no humans at all.
But even if our concept of the population explosion is completely erroneous, there are parts of that concept that remain true. People tend to congregate in areas where there is plentiful water, good growing ground, and hospitable climates.
And so do birds.
As the human population overwhelms these climates, we decimate and overwhelm bird habitat at every corner. And the birds, driven by migratory habit and survival codebooks written, perhaps, into their very DNA, are hard-pressed to accommodate man’s infiltration of their environment. If we want them to survive, we must provide a niche in our personal surroundings for their continued existence. Thus the Bird House.
Birds need the same things that most life requires, clean air, water, food, and shelter. There are other more specific needs, but those will do to begin with.
So it is our hope that as we find our human comfort zones on earth, we always attempt to make space and a healthy living zone for the birds.
