Birds

Spring is the season during which wild animals have plenty of babies. But if you come across an orphaned baby animal, is it okay to pick it up or should you leave it alone?

That adorable baby bird you purchased at the store may be very sweet as a youngster but may turn into the equivalent of a rebellious teenager after it grows in both size and confidence.

You hear that chirp in the brisk morning of January and you say “what?” And for good reason. You wouldn’t be caught dead outside with three coats, two socks, a hat, mittens, all while you’re standing directly on top of an open fire.

Baby … it’s cold outside!

Whether you’re an avid birdwatcher or you’re simply an animal lover who wants to help all species survive, there are steps you can take right in your own backyard to make the winter season a little more bearable for the birds and mammals that frequent your outdoor space.
