offspring, breeding season of native birds

When native birds nest in your garden, watching the young grow up can be an exciting and fascinating experience. However, there are some important things to keep in mind to give the young birds the best possible chance of raising successfully.

  1. Protect the nesting site. It's important to protect the birds' nesting site and respect their privacy. Make sure you fence off the area around the nest and protect it from disturbance. Avoid working near the nest or making unnecessary noise, as this can disturb the birds and interfere with breeding behavior.

  2. Avoid touching the young birds. It's important not to touch the young birds or remove them from the nest. Most bird species have an elaborate breeding cycle based on the needs of the young birds. Disturbing the young birds may disrupt the breeding cycle or even injure the young birds.


  3. Don't feed the young birds. It's important not to feed the young unless you have experience and know exactly what they need. Most birds are capable of feeding their young themselves, and it's best not to disturb them while doing so. If you think the parents are unable to feed their young, consult a veterinarian or an experienced birdwatcher.



  4. It is also important to keep predators away by protecting the nest and the area around the nest.

  5. Leave the young birds alone. It's important to leave the young birds alone and not disturb them unnecessarily. When the young birds leave the nest and begin to fly, it may be tempting to chase or catch them, but this can result in injury or death. Leave the young birds alone and instead enjoy their beauty from a distance.

Overall, it's important to protect and respect the offspring of native birds. By following these tips, you can help ensure successful breeding and healthy young. Enjoy the beauty and fascination of nature, but always be sure to protect and respect its creatures.
