Why get a bird watching field guide?




By Karen Andrews

If your child is anything like me, they will love anything that can fly and by
building a bird house it will help them to watch birds and may even
challenge them to find out even more about the types of birds that
frequent your backyard. Just like recognizing certain characteristics and
habits of people you can do the same with birds, which ultimately makes
identifying them much easier. These characteristics are shape, size, color,
flight pattern and where they're seen, to name just a few.

Here is a feature that is often overlooked: bird-proof door locks. You
should get a cage that your bird can't escape from. Just think about what
would happen if your bird escaped & was free the entire day while you're
out!

But on the other hand, a carefully cared for, high quality powder-coated
bird cage can last 10+ years. So what makes a cage simple to clean?

With so many people hoping to see a bird they¡¯ve never seen before, it¡¯s
not surprising to see a clamoring for the latest tips and tools to get the
job done.

Why get a bird watching field guide?

Communing with nature is one of life¡¯s pleasures that does not cost much
but can make anyone the happiest person on earth. There are many
ways to be one with nature like taking a hike, going camping or swimming
or visiting animals in their natural habitat.

One of the least expensive but enjoyable things to do (if a person wants
to enjoy the simple blessings of life) is to go bird watching. This is an
activity that can be done alone or in the company of friends or family. Bird
watching with the family can give a person the joy of bonding not only
with nature but most importantly with his family. A person who decides to
go bird watching should arm himself with a bird watching field guide.
Choosing the right one can be a hit and miss process especially if this is
the a new venture. But no matter what, a bird watching field guide can
be the best map that new birdwatchers should have.

Bird watching field guides can be bought in bookstores and choosing from
the many titles available can be confusing for the beginner. The best
thing to do is research through the Internet to get an idea of what bird
watching field guides will be suited for the birdwatcher.

Practice Before You Go. A key to viewing wildlife, and especially birds, is
to have the ability to very quickly put your binoculars on target. The top
two ways to give your bird stimulation on a daily basis are: toy hooks &
playtops. There's no need to explain why toy hooks are stimulating, they
just are!

Basically, that's all you have to do in making hummingbird feeders. It
depends on you how many hummingbird feeders you want to make, but
if you want to enjoy watching more than just one hummingbird, you can
make a number of these feeders and tie them into a mobile and place
them in your backyard.

Most families immediately think that they can choose between getting a
cat or a dog simply because those are the most popular pets to have.
Before you run out and purchase the perfect kitten or puppy, consider
choosing a bird to be your family pet instead.

If you desire the look of antiques without the price tag, reproductions are
also available. Replica antique bird cages often maintain the look and style
of the original, but at a fraction of the cost. Once a person gets an idea
of the kinds of bird watching activity he wants to go into, he can then
compare the prices of the bird watching guides and choose the one
which is within his budget.

When a person gets his bird watching field guide, he must read through
it, not memorizing each topic but merely studying it to get an idea of
what lies ahead for him. Reading the field guide in advance can give the
person a head start on his new bird watching hobby. He know what to
expect and what to do during such activity by reading the field guide.

A field guide that gives an idea and even illustrations of the different kinds
of birds will be ideal for any person. However, a bird watching field guide
must not be so complicated so as to overwhelm the user. It should be
simple, provide the user with complete information and photos of birds
and techniques on how to identify them. Once a person has settled on a
field guide, he should make sure to get good binoculars to help him
identify the birds when he goes bird watching. It is important to invest in
a good quality binocular to get the best bird images. Scrimping on one
can mean a disaster pn one¡¯s bird watching trip.

http://www.bird-watch.info The pleasure a person can receive from bird
watching can be maximized only if he knows what to expect and what he
should do.

Powder-coating on regular powder-coated cages has Zinc and/or Lead in
it, that's a fact, but good manufacturers have taken the time to discuss
this with vets and other experts to determine a safe level for these
minerals and the top manufacturers demand that their cages are
manufactured in a way that stays inside of these standards! If you're
looking at a quality cage it will be constructed of steel (powder-coated
ones should have steel underneath the powder-coat and stainless steel
cages need to be 100% stainless steel, not plated or hollow) or iron.

How do bird watchers strive to entice birds to their yards? When buying
online, however, be sure to weigh in the shipping costs to determine if
you are truly saving over buying local.

We may have the best intentions to let our bird spend most of his time
out of the cage. But there will still be times when he needs to be in his
cage.

After you have brought your bird bath home, find a place to set up the
bath well within sight of your outdoor and indoor spaces.
