There are fruits that birds, squirrels, and ants find in our garden before we reach them! So some fruits are theirs by right of being resident in the garden!
The news of elephants coming to banana plantations, or pigs digging to feed on the tapioca or other wild animals coming to places of human habitations is common in the areas, where people live at the edge of forested land. Those animals assert their right to find food and water by migrating when the forest no more offers them food and water.
The eco-system we live in calls for space for birds to survive. With high rise buildings occupying the wet lands and mini forests the water birds and avians are at a loss. They require he cover of bushes and trees to survive. To deny them that right is most unfortunate.
We have learned during the last ten years since we live in our cottage, that feathery friends need their space and food. It gave us a new outlook to gardening. We have now plants and trees which can attract bees, butterflies and birds for their habitat! We are careful to protect the garden from rats and snakes, because they add to risk to our movements!
Learning to make a garden hospitable to all visitors!
