Birdfeeders

Even if you live in a city, there are many birds to be seen and fed. Most likely, your bird feeders will attract house sparrows, starlings and rock doves with other species appearing as well. The advantage to watching birds in a city environment is that they are quite tolerant of humans, so it is fairly easy to approach them for a closer look. I have heard stories about house sparrows that are so comfortable with people that they will actually come and eat seed from your hand. How cool would that be?! As urban areas are adding more parks and ponds, we are seeing more species being comforable in these areas. Having more people add bird feeders to their yard and decks is further encouragement for birds.
