Water is an important part of your backyard bird habitat.

A source of water can dramatically increase the number of wild birds you attract in your backyard. Birds that may not visit your feeding station will visit water. Just some of the many varieties of wild birds that will visit water in your backyard include : There are many ways to offer water including birdbaths, drippers, misters, shallow dishes and small ponds.

There are many ways to offer water including birdbaths...

You can offer ground level birdbaths, pedestal birdbaths or hanging birdbaths :

  + Look for a basin that can be easily cleaned and has a gentle slope so birds can wade into the water. The bowl should be no more than 1 to 3" deep. Anything deeper, and birds will avoid it.

  + To accommodate more than one bird at a time, the diameter should be at least two feet.

  + Make sure the bottom surface is rough to allow for solid footing, or place small rocks in the bottom to create different depth levels for birds to perch on.

  + Your water source will be more obvious to birds if the inside of the bath is a dark color. Tests have shown that water in a dark container is used more often. Reflections from the water are much more noticeable to birds.

  + Keep your birdbath at least 15 feet from your other feeding areas.

  + Water is especially critical for birds in the winter when most water is frozen and covered with snow. Consider adding a heated bird bath or bird bath heater. Birds will reward you with many more visits to your backyard in the wintertime.

  + Add a dripper or mister accessory to keep the water fresh. The noise and movement these accessories create draw birds like a magnet!

  + Birds can't fly well when they're wet. Place the water source near shrubs or trees for quick escape from predators. Having perching space nearby makes it convenient for birds to sit and preen after bathing.

  + Clean water is a must. Algae, mud or droppings can quickly make the water unappealing. Keep the water fresh: replace every 2-3 days.

  + Clean your bird bath with a stiff brush and a solution of 1 part bleach to 9 parts water. We like to let ours sit in the full sun for awhile after cleaning to help bleach out the dark spots.

  + If keeping your birdbath clean and clear is a problem, we have a new enzyme based, non-toxic water additive.

Birds are attracted to the sound of dripping or running water. The ripples and noise caused by these water accessories help birds to recognize the water as they fly overhead. Adding this type of action to your water helps to attract more birds into your yard.

Introduction of the Geckos, this is the most primitive group of lizards

Introduction of the Geckos are the most primitive group of lizards. There are more than 750 species, and they are second only to the skinks in numbers

Geckos are the most primitive group of lizards

Geckos are reptiles and are found on all the continents except Antarctica. These colorful lizards have adapted to habitats from rain forests, to deserts, to cold mountain slopes.

Over a long period of time, geckos have developed special physical features to help them survive and avoid predators..

Lizards most beautiful

Female geckos lay their eggs in leaves and bark. Most geckos don’t have movable eyelids and instead have one transparent eyelid which they keep clean by licking it with their tongues. 

There are many species of geckos. Depending on the species, their endangered status can range from least concern to critically endangered.

Gecko tails serve many purposes. They help balance their weight as they climb branches, they act as fuel tanks to store fat, and as camouflage to help them disappear into their environment. Geckos are also able to shed their tails of a predator grabs them.

Post general introduction to butterflies, insects have a lot in the world today

Post general introduction to butterflies, insects have a lot in the world today, and suggests some of the best and most

Butterflies are a large group of insects, belonging to the order “Lepidoptera”, which means “scaly wing”. They are characterized by their large, often colorful wings and by their proboscis, which they use to suck flower nectar. They lay eggs that hatch into a larvae (called caterpillar), which has a totally different appearance, with its cylindrical body, and feeds mainly on plants leave, before going through the metamorphosis of the chrysalis.

One of the world's most beautiful butterflies

In popular esteem the butterflies among the insects are what the birds are among the higher animals--the most attractive and beautiful members of the great group to which they belong. They are primarily day fliers and are remarkable for the delicacy and beauty of their membranous wings, covered with myriads of tiny scales that overlap one another like the shingles on a house and show an infinite variety of hue through the coloring of the scales and arrangement upon the translucent membrane running between the wing veins. It is this characteristic structure of the wings that gives to the great order of butterflies and moths its name Lepidoptera, meaning scale-winged

   In the case of butterfly larvae one of the most interesting features of the growth of the caterpillar is that of the remarkable changes in colors and patterns of marking which the caterpillar undergoes. One who had not followed these changes would often be at a loss to recognize caterpillars of slightly differing sizes as belonging to the same species. These changes commonly show a remarkable adaptation to the conditions of life, and generally tend to the concealment of the caterpillar upon its food plant.

     There is probably no phenomenon in the world of living creatures which has attracted more attention than the change of the chrysalis into the butterfly. It is not strange that this is so. We see upon a tree or shrub or wall an inert, apparently lifeless object, having no definite form which we can compare it with other things, having eyes nor ears nor wings nor legs--an object apparently of as little interest as a lifeless piece of rock. A few minutes later we behold it again and note with astonishment that this apparently inanimate being has been suddenly transformed into the most ethereal of the creator earth, with an exquisite beauty that cannot fail to attract admiration, with wings of most delicate structure for flying through the air, with eyes of a thousand facets, with organs of smell that baffle the ingenuity of man to explain, with vibrant antennae, and a slender tongue adapted to feeding upon the nectar of flowers--the most ambrosial of natural food. So it is not strange that this emergence of a butterfly has long been the theme both of poets and theologians and that it attracts the admiring attention of childhood, youth, and age.

The giant panda lives in a few mountain ranges in central China, mainly in Sichuan province, but also in neighbouring provinces, namely Shaanxi and Gansu. As a result of farming, deforestation, and other development, the giant panda has been driven out of the lowland areas where it once lived.

It is thought that there are currently less than one thousand giant pandas living in the wild and the species is in critical danger of extinction. In order to preserve and increase the number of pandas in the wild, ongoing research in rearing animals in capativity under the threat of extinction is very important. At adventure world, in order to carry out research of giant pandas, we have been carrying out research under the auspices of the Japanease branch of Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in China.

At the bird feeder, while sparrow and chaffinch feed

At the bird feeder, bird feeder, bird table, or tray feeder are devices placed outdoors to supply bird food to birds (bird feeding). The success of a bird feeder in attracting birds depends upon its placement and the kinds of foods offered,[1] as different species have different preferences.

Most bird feeders supply seeds or bird food, such as millet, sunflower (oil and striped), safflower, Niger seed, and rapeseed or canola seed to seed-eating birds.

Bird feeders often are used for birdwatching and many people keep webcams trained on feeders where birds often congregate.
