Learn to attract birds

Do you love birds but hate cages? Do you offer corn grits and the only beaks that appear are doves? Then this report is for you. “Sometimes, people put the right food for the wrong bird”, teaches Johan Dalgas Frisch, a bird specialist. “The orange thrush, for example, flies low. So if you live on the tenth floor, he won’t come to your window.”

Frisch wakes up early and feeds the birds that live near her home in São Paulo. “I receive 200 parrots a day in this improvised restaurant.” Learn how to make birds fly to you.

Avoid the nipples

Bare the domestic pigeons
Never, ever give bread crumbs or corn grits. Domestic pigeons are so used to eating garbage that they are not even attracted to fruits and seeds. Be careful not to confuse them with the cousins ​​asa-branca, juriti and rolinha, which are class doves.

Leave the bees bewildered
Every three days, suspend the water with sugar and only put it back in after 24 hours. Bees need four days to decorate the path between their house and yours. By interrupting the supply, you confuse their memory.
