AUGUST.
We have to again remind all that August is Bird Month. The feeding of birds has been extensively practised during the last two winters with good results. There are, however, many counteracting agents such as poisoning, poaching by gold seekers, etc., etc., and the winter feeding of birds is more than ever essential this year, in order to assist in maintaining the parent stock. The following recipe will be found very useful in initially attracting nectar-eating birds : —One heaped teaspoonful of Mellins food mixed into paste, dissolve two teaspoons of Nestles sweetened milk in cup of hot water, add one tablespoonful of honey and mix ingredients.
