A Greener World

Have you ever wondered how wildlife survives in unusual climates, ever wondered where it goes to collect its sources of living? Of course, natural supplies of water are the obvious answer, due to ever-growing drought this option is not always the most common anymore. 

Nearly all species of wildlife can be found near natural sources of water. Although as seasons become dryer and sources weaken, animals do not want to leave this known water supply. This causes them to dye due to dehydration. 

In your own home, we are not always faced with the realities of nature. 

A small birdbath can attract hundreds of birds within a matter of hours. Is welcoming birds into your garden something you do, and love to see? If so here is a couple of things you may want to know. Things that will make your garden a sanctuary for the wild, especially birds. 

Having a birdbath is a start, then filling it with a small amount of water for the birds to splash around in. Even a petite stream will serve a simple purpose. 

The height of a birdbath gives birds that extra advantage when setting off, as the water on their wings makes it harder for them to fly.  We know everyone wants a fancy garden with gorgeous plants and landscapes. Not all this is always necessary if you wish to improve your garden, Cape Reed is a creating exterior design company. For garden maintenance and re-builds, they are number 1 in the UAE. 

Other aspects like a small flat stone in the middle of the birdbath can create an island of security for birds. Creating welcoming surroundings. 

The trickling of water is a soothing sound to both humans and birds, providing these sounds for the birds will give you the best chance of attracting them to your home. Birds are also enticed into gardens that have large plants and shrubbery, the dew that is left on leaves after the rain is just enough for them to bathe and cool themselves down in. Of course, having enough space for a wonderful pool with a pool cabana or a big water attraction would be ideal. As these are magnets for attracting wildlife such as birds, raccoons, turtles, frogs, hawks, owls, herons, butterflies, dragonflies, and many more forms of wildlife. 

Don’t forget that once these sources of water freeze over there just as bad as the dessert and dried up water sources. It's useful to look for heaters and de icer’s all year round.
