The pruning of trees least affects birds that live in the Midlands year-round. But birds that migrate into the area once a year are more vulnerable. If these animals have to spend time looking for a place to nest, they could miss nesting season altogether or be in no shape to breed, he said. There are ways that residents can help, Glover said. To compensate for lost trees, residents can put up nest boxes.
Most birds sleep in trees and bushes the rest of the year.
Prune trees during the fall and winter. Time is better spent working to preserve large tracts of land where many birds nest rather than concentrating on one or two trees. These simple steps can help to ensure the health of area birds. I just hope people will realize what they have here and enjoy it.
