FEEDING NATIVE BIRDS.
The number of animals or birds or indeed any form of life which the land, sea, or forests can maintain is decided chiefly by the number that can be wintered as with stock on a farm. The present is the time of scarcity, and great help can be given native birds by feeding them during the difficult time in order that more may be available for breeding in the spring. Nectar feeding birds can be helped by supplying the equivalent in sugar syrup (three parts boiling water to one of sugar), wffiile others will readily take beef suet, cooked potatoes, etc. Feeders should be placed where cats cannot interfere with the birds.
