Book Description

December 1, 1981

Feeding birds in winter appeals to everyone, but there are some simple ways in which it can become more enjoyable.

This book covers the basics of feeding birds in the city and suburbs, and in the country, too. It contains basic information for identifying birds that stay in cold areas throughout winter, and for each kind describes what they like and need to eat. There is information on how to make up mixtures of grain and suet for birds, how to build feeders, and the best kind to buy if you don't want to build.

This book deals with feeding problems and pest problems: squirrels and birds that "hog" feeding stations, mice and cats. There are recipes for food, tips on growing natural bird foods, hand feeding, sources of wild bird food, and projects for city parks. There is even a section on small projects for children, so that they can have fun feeding birds too.

Well illustrated, with drawings of birds, feeders, and diagrams on how to set up an inviting garden habitat for birds -- all year round.

4.0 out of 5 stars Canadians, this is for you!, January 24, 2008
This review is from: Feeding Wild Birds in Winter (Paperback)
So many bird books and so few directed to Canadians and the birds we enjoy. This book focuses on feeding wild birds in Canada. Dobson is experienced in attracting various birds since he's lived in the rich and abundant area in Galliano, BC and now resides in Toronto, Ontario.

He has written a book that is ideal for the average backyard bird enthusiast. If you are a bit of a newcomer to feeding backyard birds, this book will suit you perfectly. Dobson covers the basics for the birds that can be drawn to our feeders here in Canada and the illustrations are ideal for identifying some of the more common visitors.

He discusses the different foods, how to make some of your own mixtures, where best to locate your feeders for specific birds, and even helps you in dealing with those darn pests such as squirrels, mice, cats, and "hog" birds (as he calls them). For the handyperson, he has easy to follow instructions for making your own feeders. We've made a couple ourselves and one of them would make an ideal project to do with your children.

There is nothing difficult to understand and I sure do appreciate a book that doesn't ignore Canadian bird enthusiasts.
