Grey Heron  (1)

how do i make my bird stop droping his food and water down?



It's so annoying when they do that. If it's an issue about the mess, you could put his food on the bottom of his cage. The water though will just have to stay.

Gresham seeks residents for latest bird survey

Gresham is looking for community members to participate in its third citywide volunteer bird survey to help learn more about the birds that call Gresham home.

An orientation class will be held Saturday, April 23, at City Hall from 9:45 a.m. to noon.

"The survey is capturing a wonderful picture of the wide diversity of birds we have around us," said Megan Garvey, urban habitat enhancement specialist with the city's Environmental Services Department.

Birds are one of nature's indicators of the health of the land and water ecosystems, according Environmental Services. Gresham city staff use the survey information to develop strategies to support native birds. The information helps habitat stewards know what types of bird nest boxes to install and where.

Volunteers survey a natural area or urban site four to seven times over a six week period, one hour per survey. Bird lovers and families are encouraged to sign up. Garvey says no experience is necessary. Experienced

As I was driving through the Central Valley look at all the rice fields, orchards and the mosaic of wetland refuges, and I worry about what the future holds for the production of rice and many species of birds that gild the Central Valley, as more and more people living on Earth.I worked for The Nature Conservancy in Central Valley of California, for twenty years, and during that time I learned years, the importance of marriage between agriculture and wildlife habitat. As our population grows and demand for food increases, water and energy, that marriage should be even stronger to meet the needs of the people, the rice farmers, and wildlife that depend on that land....
