| 520 | _a"Bird Houses, Baths and Feeding Shelters: How to Make and Where to Place Them" by Edmund J. Sawyer is a practical guidebook published in the mid-20th century, specifically focusing on the proper construction and placement of birdhouses, baths, and feeding stations. Written during a time when interest in wildlife conservation and gardening was on the rise, this book is likely aimed at amateur birders and nature enthusiasts looking to enhance their home gardens for local bird species. Its primary topic revolves around providing shelter and food for birds, thereby supporting local avian life. The book provides detailed instructions on constructing various types of birdhouses suited for different species, explaining the ideal dimensions and materials needed, alongside advice on where to place them for maximum effectiveness. Sawyer emphasizes the significance of good design in birdhouses to deter unwanted species like the English Sparrow and European Starling from taking over nesting sites intended for native birds. Additionally, the text covers the importance of bird baths and feeding stations, offering construction tips and the best practices for maintenance. The focus is not only on attracting birds but also on creating a safe, functional environment that encourages the growth of local bird populations, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in bird gardening.
