BIRD FEEDING.
The feeding of birds during the last few months has been on an extensive scale throughout New Zealand, and those who have been active in the matter can congratulate themselves that they have done much good from an economic point o f view. New Zealand can only winter a certain number o f birds unless artificial means are adopted. In the late spring insects increase at such a prodigous rate that it sometimes happens there are not enough birds to overcome the
enemy and the result is an insect scourge. It is necessary that a large number of birds should have been saved by this winter feeding ready to take up the fight in the spring against man’s ever aggressive enemy—the insect.
