These high- energy birds need a special diet high in sugar. To make your own, use a 4-to-1 ratio of wa- ter and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil for one minute. Let it cool and pour into feeder. Don’t use red coloring, Sanchez said, because it contains dye that could possibly be danger- ous. Colored feeders will attract hummingbirds and once they fi nd it, they’ll be back. Cleaning all bird feeders once a week is essential. Mois- ture contributes to mold, which causes diseases transmitted on avian feet after perching on feeders. Discard any feed left in the feeder, scrub inside and out with a long-handled brush – available in different sizes and lengths at bird shops or online – Employee of the Month of the Month Farlane Vester Corrine Taylor for the Month of June, 2016 Magnolia Gardens 541-942-0054 1425 Daugherty Ave. • Cottage Grove NEW: Digital X-Rays (use less radiation) Implants •Teeth Whitening • Extractions Lumineers (no prep veneers as seen on TV) asked to call Amanda Bred- ing at 541-844-5281.

Let it dry thoroughly before fi lling. How you arrange feeders around the yard doesn’t seem to matter to birds. In patio gardens or apartments, gathering them together in groupings is usually the only option. A larger garden allows for more feeders and more areas for placement. “You’ll notice no matter how many ports you have, there will be competitions,” Sanchez said. “It’s a matter of ‘Get off that perch; it’s mine.’ You’ll see a lot of movement around.” Regardless of how many feed- ers you have and how you’ve ar- ranged them around the yard, be sure to provide shrubs and trees for shelter from wind and preda- tors. “Birds at feeders are always on the lookout for danger,” San- chez said. “There are times when you put feeders where humans can see them, but birds won’t use them if there’s not a shrub nearby. Having food somewhat close to cover is a key consid- eration.” Bird need water, too. Serve it up in a shallow, fl at-bottomed bowl with ½-1 inch of water. Place it in either sun or shade, clean it often and change the water daily or at least every other day. To reduce the chance rats will visit your bird stations, keep seed off the ground, Sanchez said. If ground-feeding birds like doves, quail and juncos are a favorite, experiment with el- evating a platform feeder a bit off the ground and keep the area under it cleaned up. It may or may not work. Rats might still be able to access the feeder and birds might not. Squirrels drive some people crazy with their tenacious – and often successful -- attempts to steal bird food. Others enjoy their antics and put out peanuts especially for them. “I don’t mind them,” San- chez said. “But some people fi nd themselves in confl ict with squirrels. A feeder is like an Eat at Joe’s sign, a good place to hang out. And while they’re there, they can do other activi- ties like cache their food in the lawn or damage plants. Plus, these voracious little animals eat a lot of expensive food.” To thwart them, Sanchez rec- ommends using baffl es, which are half-moons of plastic that go above a feeder. Though some people insist it doesn’t work, putting feeders on a pole hanger in the middle of the lawn can stop squirrels from reaching the food. There are also feeders surrounded with cages that will fall with the weight of a squirrel and cover the feeder’s holes but stay in place for the more light- weight birds. Check bird shops or online for these specifi c feed- ers. Most of all, if you’re going to attract birds to the garden, don’t spray chemicals or use pellet- ized weed and feed or moss killer. 541.942.7934 C ll Blueberr e w s ie re 34030 Orchard Ave., Creswell 541-895-8907 U-Pick or Call to Order Open Daily 8-5pm Accommodate off hour picking by appointment July –August with seven different varieties No Spray!
