Ⅰ.七选五
Feeding birds is a popular way to watch wildlife.But many bird experts say the experience is often more pleasant to people than to birds. 1
The most common mistake people make is placing their bird feeders incorrectly.They put feeders in places where birds are scared by movements,risk being hurt by cats,or risk flying into windows.Kress,a bird expert,likes the idea of setting up a bird feeder at least one meter away from a window. 2 And,he urges owners of cats to keep them inside the home so they can’t hurt the birds.
Learn which birds are common to your neighborhood,so you can avoid feeder wars and understand the social order. 3 They eat a lot and do not leave much food for other birds.An approach is to put the food in more than one place by using different seeds and feeders.
4 Unprotected seeds left too long in feeders will turn poisonous.Refresh your feeders every few days and clean them often with a liquid of 10 percent bleach(漂白剂).
Do not feed wild birds anything salty,like potato chips,or food that could choke them,like plain bread.Always try to provide a supply of clean water,but when looking for the right birdbath(鸟浴池),you should be with care. 5 Putting a few large stones in the water can give the birds a place to sit on.For hummingbirds—which are very,very small—put water on large plant leaves to attract them.Hummingbirds like to bathe in leaves.
A.Most birdbaths are too deep for birds.
B.And it might even put wild birds at risk.
C.Some birds are more aggressive at feeders.
D.Pay attention to seed quality and freshness.
E.Be careful to choose seeds of various kinds.
F.So watching birds is perhaps more harmful than people thought.[来源:Z+xx+k.Com]
G.That way birds won’t die from hitting the glass if getting frightened.
