PLEASURE IN
FEEDING BIRDS

1t IS not necessary to live in the
woods to attract birds other than spar
rows. Interest the children and teach
them the different kinds of birds to
know them by sight and sound. Inter
est them in their characteristics and
habits and they will learn to love and
feed them. 1t is safe to believe that
outside of the Sparrows, bluejay and
robin, few people know the other birds
without referring to some book on "bird
ology." The birds most likely to be at
tracted by food we place are the blue
jays, titmouse or chickadee and wood
pecker. Some people report feeding
grosbeaks. While these birds may be
tempted by bits of good food placed
within their reach we believe they
much prefer the buds of the box-alders
The nut hatch, woodpeckers, and chick
ADDE'S are quickly attracted by pieces of
suit placed up in the branches of tree
or on clothesline post, or any place
out of reach of the cats. Sparrows
prefer their crumbs thrown out on
the ground and usually will not touch
the food placed up in high places. By
all means have the feeding places
where they may conveniently be watch
ed from your window. A flat board
nailed on top of clothesline post
makes an ideal feeding place, impossi-
BILE to be reached by the cats or prowl-
ing dogs. 1t is safe to wager that of
the different birds that will feast at
your board, saucy blue-jay will furnish
you with the most entertainment
