Wild animals and birds don't care if their homes and dining areas are brand new. With very little effort, things on their way to the rubbish pile may be converted into serviceable aids for feathered and furred friends.
Birds and animals are attracted to places that fill their four basic needs
food, water, shelter and space. Recycled materials can be fashioned into items that provide the first three needs. Your yard provides the last requirements while allowing you to enjoy the life and motion neighboring wildlife brings.
• The sound of dripping w ater can be heard by wildlife for long way. You can construct an audible watering spot for birds and small animals from a plastic milk jug and the lid from a broken garbage can. With a sewing needle, poke small hole in the comer of the bottom of the jug opposite the handle. Fill the bottle with water and adjust the size of the hole to achieve a good drip rate. Place the iid beneath the dripping water. For stability, dig a small depression in the ground in which to set the lid.
• After the stakes are in place for tall flowers and vegetables plants, anchor any extras in various locations around the garden to sene as perches for insect-eating birds such as flycatchers, robins and bluebirds.
