    47:44 About slugs. I had a battle with slugs last year and the only thing that I found to be effective was a slug fence, it doesn't kill them. I tried all the different methods and spent hours researching the problem. This year I won't use a slug fence, I will just grow plants that slugs don't like to eat as batteries for my slug fence are expensive and are definitely not good for the planet.

    Great video, concise and accurate . Is there as much value in using coniferous wood? I acquired some from nextdoor after they had the landscapers in, but I gather resins are present in higher quantities. Will this lead to different assemblages of species and, or, slower decay? Many thanks

    I don't use bird feeders as this artificially distorts the ecosystem - inflates bird numbers at the cost of invertebrates and pollinators who are eaten at much higher amounts due to fed birds. My bird numbers are increasing naturally with native trees and habitats containing seeds and insects - no pesticide produced bird feed - no disease at feeding stations either.

    It is vitally important NOT to place feeders too close to windows as that is window strikes waiting to happen. I learned this the hard way. It is recommended to place feeders 30 feet from windows! Window strikes is a main cause of death to birds💔

  • @LibertarianGalt
    @LibertarianGalt Жыл бұрын

    Mistakes happen Franz. Thanks for the heads up though I was considering one of these window feeders. I'll stick with planting bird attracting bushes and insect attracting flowers.

    simply not true. you can draw vertical white lines on your windows using a glass marker (drawn externally) or chalk pen (drawn internally) with 2-3 inch between each line, the birds can detect this is not a passable object. I've noticed nearly no strikes on my windows after drawing lines on the inside of my windows with chalk pens. I have my feeders screwed into the rooftop overhang, so that I can top them up simply by opening the window, I have found it absolutely incredible for my mental health. I could not say the same if I was to keep the feeder 30 feet from any of my windows. Just make sure your window doesn't look like a clear glass pane, draw some vertical white lines the birds will not fly into your windows, theres a popular video I saw it on.

    It’s illegal to feed wild animals. Birds are not the biggest pollinators.. butterflies are and the more birds there are - the less butterflies there are because birds hunt & kill & eat butterflies. Besides the above, water and birds attract coyotes.

    I think conifer Wood can be equally valuable as a shelter, even if it breaks down more slowly, and having different woods at various stages of decay in your pile is also valuable. If you use what you have and observe how wildlife uses it, you could learn lots about your own local wildlife too. Hope that helps!
