Aurora, CO (PRWEB) May 27, 2008 -- Birds Dun Rite opened their store of elegant birdhouses, bird feeders, and bird-related items in July of 2007. Now they're opening a new blog at www.BirdsDunRiteBlog.com to give their customers a chance to hold discussions on their beloved subject of birds.
"We are bird lovers; we've been bird lovers for 20 years," explain Jerry and June Mason, owners of www.BirdsDunRite.com. "We've always had bird feeders out, and we decided, why not go with bird products? First it started out with bird feeders, then we expanded to birdhouses, and now we have bird baths and accessories -- peripheral stuff, bird products. Our blog is just the next step."
The Masons supply their store from the Gold Crest catalog of exclusive bird products, carefully selecting items of interest. From that catalog they have built up a variety of bird-related gifts and products, all of which are topics of discussion on their new blog.
"We like dealing with nature," explains Jerry, who is proud of the business he's chosen. "We're not tree huggers, but we like to preserve nature as best we can. Birds are very important to our balance of nature. I think that if you take good care of the birds, they'll take good care of you. We'll be using the blog to explain how to take care of the birds -- we have articles already written on the subject. June does a lot of research into these things, and we find things on robins, we find things on purple martins, and we write about them."
The Masons are lifelong bird enthusiasts, and look to share that with their audience, for whom the site's merchandise is tailored. They invite shoppers to comment on birding and their product catalog, and welcome suggestions and comments from those who browse their site.

Garden for Birds #3
Well, another week is passing us by.I want to thank everyone who writes me back.
The Remarkable Sounds of Birds
Until the British musician David Hindley studied the song of the Skylark by slowing it down the song was simply regarded as just another beautiful bird song. But what he discovered was that the bird song held recognizable musical notes! From forty eight seconds of the compressed and mind numbingly complex song, Hindley extracted nearly thirteen minutes of sheet music - music that could be played like any other piece. But even more astounding was the remarkable resemblance to structures in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony!
Choosing Among the Best Exotic Pet Birds
Exotic birds are among the most popular pets to keep. Not only are they absolutely beautiful, with their brilliantly colored feathers, many pet owners find them easier to take care of than, say, a fuzzy cat or a rowdy dog.

Let Birds And Bees Enjoy Your Landscaping

Bird Cages Aren't Just For The Birds

Choosing A Hat For Birdwatching
If you want your kids to be a part of the process it is very easy to make your birdhouse very simple. It is quite possible to use four or five pieces of wood and construct one with very little in the way of tools. Then there is the posture of a bird. Believe it or not, birds perch differently. For example, a Flycatcher perches vertically (straight up and down) when on a branch while a Vireo perches horizontally (almost lying down) when on the same branch.
Choosing Birdwatching Binoculars
Bird Watchers need special binoculars. They can't be too heavy because you need to carry them around with you, but they should be rugged enough to last several years. You need some that you can hold steady rather easily. The optics must be good enough that they can reveal details and colors. You might have to view objects up close quickly and they should be easy to focus. Remember to make sure that your eyeglasses will fit with your new binoculars before you buy them.

RejeX-it from Martinson-Nicholls Repels Geese and Other Birds Without Harming Wildlife or the Environment
In too many places, birds have found lawns, sports fields, parks, golf courses, and corporate settings near a lake or pond so agreeable, they cease migrating. With their fiercely territorial and aggressive behavior, geese often wear out their welcome and become a nuisance. Their feeding habits damage grass, and their unsanitary droppings pose health problems. RejeX-it represents an effective alternative to repelling nuisance birds without harming them.
Acclimating New Birds
Now that my services have expanded into the "matchmaking" business, it dawned on me that we need to talk about the transition of a bird moving to a new home, whether a hand fed baby just adopted to a new home or an older bird going to a second home. This is a stressful time for any bird, but you can help lessen the strife and make the move easier for both your new bird and the rest of the family.
Migration - How do those birds do it?
Bird migration is a fascinating phenomenon that has intrigued humans for centuries. The picture is now becoming clearer on how these creatures get from colder climates to more temperate climates every year. According to an article by Charles Walcott, Professor, Neurobiology and Behavior, Cornell University, and former director, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, it is through a combination of: 1) sighting features like rivers, coastlines, and mountain ranges; 2) monitoring the Earth's magnetic field (apparently using not only their visual system but also tiny grains of a mineral called magnetite in their heads); 3) they observe the stars and use the sun for guidance; 4) smell; and 5) probably by simply following their neighbors as large f...
