SHIPPING OFFERED
'Birdscaping Your Garden' - How to Attract Australian Native Birds by George Adams in excellent condition.
The blurb:- This truly delightful book combines immediate visual appeal with a deep appreciation for Australia's most characteristic birds amd plants. Remarkable insights into bird and plant interdependence are linked to a gentle conservationist philosophy that seeks to protect, extend, and preserve the unique elements of our bushland. An understanding of the special relationship between native birds and plants will prove invaluable for the home gardener and the bird lover.
This book contains information that will provide the basis for deriving countless hours of pleasure from the natural environment; location and identification of individual plants; approximate flowering times; propagation and cultivation; planning and planting. The message is essentially to use methods as close as possible to those of nature, with the aim of enlarging and restoring habitats diminished by urban development and increased mechanisation.
Text and pictures show how with very little effort the average backyard can be transformed into a minature sanctuary. Simple measures will encourage a variety of native birds to visit the suburban garden: the careful positioning of suitable native plants to attract specific birds and at the same time protect them from natural hazards and predators; the provision of water, sources of food, shelter, and breeding sites; restraint in the use of pesticides. Allied to the creative use of natural resources are instructions for building nest boxes to meet the needs of particular birds.
