Hygiene And Safety In Your Garden

For the wildlife your garden can be a dangerous place and many birds die because of the lack of care in peoples gardens. This has to stop and there are many things that you can do to help save the number of birds in our wildlife which is becoming alarmingly low anyways. It is up to you to help save the bird population on step at a time.

Your pet cat poses a huge threat to the birds as it is their natural instinct to hunt birds and kill them. This does not make it right as they already have food at home so they need to be stopped when it comes to hunting these elegant creatures. This can be done with a sonic cat repeller. This sensor can be placed near a bird table or bath and when it detects a cat moving it will emit an ultrasound noise to deter the cat from coming any closer. This is completely safe and will not harm your cat's ears in anyway what so ever. These generally get plugged into the mains and come with an extension so you can place them anywhere in your garden without any problems.

Bacteria and viruses are one of the biggest killers in the bird community and it is very important to make sure that these viruses and bacteria get nowhere near to the birds so that they can live happily. Fortunately anti-bacterial spray for birds has been recently introduced to the market and this will kill most threats to the birds and it is highly recommended that you use this for the bird's sake. This spray should be used over the food that is provided for them and this will help them survive because as mentioned before the numbers of birds in our wildlife in rapidly decreasing and at this rate we could be left with no birds in the future.

Our homes pose a natural threat to birds and especially our windows. Many people find birds flying into windows humorous but in fact there is nothing funny about it. The reason for this is that over 100 million birds in the UK are killed due to collisions with windows and this is a huge problem that has to be tackled with. There is a simple step that can be taken to make our windows less dangerous and all that you need to do is place some window alerts on you windows and these are small but very effective.

These reflect UV rays onto the rest of the window so it appears visible to the bird and even better it is not noticeable to normal human eye which means it will not affect your view but it will help the birds survive. These are very cheap and if you can do this you will be helping to save the birds in your local area.

One of the worst things for birds during the winter is the lack of water. People do put out food which is very helpful and they should continue to do this but they often forget to put out water. When they do put out the water they do not do anything to stop it freezing and this leaves the water useless and the birds without any water. The lack of water kills birds regularly but fortunately there is something you can do to combat this. Ice-free liquid is now available and this can be added to bird baths.

This liquid will prevent any frost occurring and even better than this it is 100% safe for birds and frogs which does often become a problem. This liquid generally comes in big quantities and it will definitely last you for the winter if used correctly.

By doing all of these little things you can help the bird population steady and later increase which is very important so that the future generations can enjoy the beautiful wildlife that we currently have today.
