injurious insects. They lead active lives
and require much food. A single bird
often eats more than 100 insects at a
meal and sometimes consumes several
thousand small insects
Birds on a 200-acre farm in North
Carolina destroyed a million green
bugs, or wheat aphids. daily. There
are many localities where birds have
saved certain trees, garden crops, or
farm fields from total destruction.
Encourage all kinds Of birds, as the
various species prey on different kinds
Of insects. For example, the hairy and
downy woodpeokers render a special
service In the protection Of trees. They
