AC User ID: 1560850 United States 07/06/2012 06:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i'm reading in other threads about birds dying, and i want to ask GLP'ers to do one tiny thing. Quoting: Anne O'Mally please, it is a simple thing that can help and/or save them. PUT WATER OUT! please try to put the water in the shade and give it enough space from home that the wild ones feel comfortable. Love to you, Anne. You're a wonderful person. Freese ice blocks in orange juice cartons. Pop them out in shallow containers. They'll melt slowly and provide cold water for hours. I bought 3 angel food cake pans at a thrift store. I drove a stake down inside the tube part so they don't tip over. The little birds land on the rim of the pans and drink their fill. Don't forget food. Rye bread and other high calorie items. They need salt, so buy the salted sunflower seeds. Hey! Bird haters, without the birds, certain species of plants would be extinct. |

Quoting: TBar1984 i live on a 60 acre lake here in ft laud and i put a bird feeder up and nothing touched it for a couple months and then this little black bird with red on his wings started coming and then all hell broke loose. other birds started hanging out and then the muscovie ducks showed up and i had to take it down because they will shit all over the sidewalk and when they eat somewhere, they will never leave.

"Apart from the energy sector, global food production could also suffer massive disruptions from the warming caused by El Nino."

The brocolli harvest is a big fail this year..its double the normal price; that may sound dumb and unimportant but if you extrapolate that into all other food sources thing could get pretty pricey.
