Another way to help birds:

Stop spraying so many insecticides. Many birds eat insects.

I have an almost commercial sized orchard, and a very large garden. I do occasionally spray copper, sulphur, or neem to keep the fruit trees kinda sorta disease free, but I bag the fruit in little drawstring bags to keep insects from damaging the fruit. Yes, it's time consuming. I've been bagging apples after work for 2 weeks. But it works a lot better than sprays.

#introduction. Introducing myself on this new server. Permaculturist on small acreage in western Oregon. My farm is my retirement plan and the source of nearly all my inspiration. I still work in healthcare, and I do care deeply about peoples’ health, but people exhaust me. I am peaceful and happy here on the land. #permaculture. #nature. #organicgardening #selfsustainability
