Pools, depending on their size, can be homes for fish, amphibians, reptiles, and insects. They provide feeding sites for birds, bats, raccoons, and other animals. It is vital that water be available year-round. In the summer, water must be replaced regularly to ensure that it is fresh. During the winter, water should be kept fresh, and ice-free, as well.
Most people know that different animals eat different foods.
However , many people don't think about animals needing different foods at different times of the year. Birds that feed primarily on seeds may switch to insects while raising young in the spring. As the seasons change, so do the needs of wild animals. If you want to attract and hold animals year round, you need to provide the foods the animals need in each season. The best way to ensure that you will meet a wide range of needs is to plant and encourage a wide variety of plant species.
