They appear as symbols, omens, and gods, emerge in myth, folklore, drawings, and are included in religious scriptures. Birds seem to represent the bridge between the heavens and the earth. They raise our spirits and dare us to dream. Their beauty, their majesty and their grace transcend the ordinary. They capture our hearts, our minds, and our spirits.
Birds are an integral part of our world.
Their feathered attraction, glorious song, and seemingly carefree flight point to a simpler, less complicated time. Literally millions of people have found that feeding birds and creating miniature bird sanctuaries reduces the stress associated with our fast paced world. Birds add a depth of color and vitality to our gardens while at the same time consuming large numbers of pesky insects. The enjoyment of feeding and watching birds is a pastime which can grow with each passing day and with each new species that visits the feeder. Birding means so much to so many.
