Nice job! My birds need a water bath. I'd like to make something on a larger scale than a simple bird bath. Something about the size of yours would be great.
Excellent video. Your local birds must love you for building the brush pile for them. Those smaller birds are so much fun to watch and appreciate. In Maine, we've got tons of chickadees, goldfinch, warblers, tufted titmouse, and a few others. I own 15 acres and part of it consists of large white pines and balsam fir trees. Many of the white pines have shaded out the firs and that shade has killed them. So for the last few days, I've been cutting the standing dead firs down and have been creating some fairly decently sized brush piles. I leave the dead white pines standing because the birds use them for habitat and feeding. The firs are more like bean poles, so I take them down. Plus, many trees have fallen throughout the years, making a huge mess on the ground. I'm just getting around to cleaning it all up now (making piles). Anyway, it's nice to know the piles will be benefitting the wildlife around me. That helps with the motivation. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing! I love to hear the stories of how others create habitat for birds in their own spaces. Best of luck to you with your fir brush piles!
This is what I am thinking about building one for my birds
From a fellow animal lover I think you did an excellent job
I guess birds love that birdbath.
brilliant video
Glad you enjoyed it!
