Building Habitats for Birds Building Habitats for BirdsOpportunity for community service and conservation.Looking for a feel good, low cost, high interest project for your school, company, Audubon chapter or service club? Champion a "Building Habitats for Birds©" annual event in your town. All you need is a small budget and volunteers for field work to place houses. The long term impact of fledging more birds is priceless.As our country has developed we have impacted our bird population with sprawling towns, power lines, housing tracts, industrial parks, golf courses and malls -- displacing bird habitats. Cavity nesters are struggling with fewer breeding spots each season ... many species have been lost forever. Our birds may decline or disappear altogether from their current ranges unless we get involved. You can help reverse the plight. Launch your "Building Habitats for Birds©" by calling land owners and developers for permission to establish housing in undeveloped areas in your town. If every year you place 12 bird houses, over a 10 year span (120 houses), that effort may yield as many as 6,000 breeding birds ... that's a contribution that serves our grandchildren and beyond. A dozen bird houses placed within 2.5 to 5 acres will create amazing results. The best news is any day of the year is the right day to establish replacement housing -- there are no seasonal timelines to consider. You can make the difference -- help ensure your town's dawn chorus of birdsong doesn't fall silent forever. Each year Duncraft supports the Migratory Bird Conservancy. MBC is the only program devoted exclusively to conservation of birds and their habitats. It is a unique partnership among birders, birding businesses, and the conservation community. MBC's goal is to raise funds to help conserve bird habitats throughout the Western Hemisphere. You may also help save birds by making a tax-deductible donation contribution to the Migratory Bird Conservancy - www.conservebirds.org. |
