The Dramatic Baby Bird Rescue

Birds

Generally I have a policy of leaving nature to take its course. I am unable to care for baby critters - so if I see one that is by itself or looks a little in need, I may provide it some food or water, but I refuse to bring them indoors or try to 'save' them.

Keep Wildlife Safe This Halloween: The Dangers of Fake Spider Web Decorations for Birds and Bees

Fun Nature Stuff, Projects & Ideas

I love Halloween! We decorate our yard with spooky decorations, string lights, and even a few inflatables. Our kids pick out the scariest costumes, and we get to see all of the neighborhood kids when they come to the door. If I place our motion-activated decorations in just the right spot, we might even give some of them a good scare. October is …
