Humans-- don't forget to drink enough water to keep you hydrated.
Don't forget to supply clean water for the wild feathered and furry ones too.
You can add some fresh water to your birdbath to replenish it every day. Make sure you change the water in your birdbath every couple of days or so to prevent mosquitoes.
Don't Forget the Wild Feathered and Furry Ones
Sylvia Says: Have you heard more birds around lately?
Bird Seed in a feeder or spread on the ground is appreciated by the wild, feathered ones any time of year. During winter and spring, extra food is helpful when their natural diets are hard to find.
It is Very Important that the seed in the feeders does not become moldy. Moldy seed KILLS birds! Check your feeder daily and clean it at least every couple of weeks. You can clean your feeder with vinegar and water, 9 parts water to one part chlorine bleach (check with your feeder manufacturer to know if bleach will mar your feeder's finish) and there are some bird safe cleaning solutions available (check with stores that cater to wild birds). The birds will reward you with beautiful songs!
Wateris the most important thing for the wild ones during freezing temperatures in winter! Please invest in aUL approved HeatedBirdbath or SeparateHeater Unit for your birdbath. We have our heated birdbath plugged in all winter into early spring (use a UL approved outdoor, heavy duty extension cord if the bath is too far from your outdoor outlet). It doesn't use much electricity and the wild ones always have a nice drink of water waiting for them. Don't forget to add fresh water every other day or so. Keep an eye on the water level (you might get an extra thirsty visitor and have to add water more often). If our birdbath develops scum in the winter, we empty it; wipe it out with paper towel; rinse and refill.
I was busily working in a two cat partnership with my brother Ra for a couple of years. One day, our person asked us if we'd like to take on additional responsibilities for the small Internet business she was planning. As the three of us sat down and discussed it, we discovered we all had similar philosophies and decided to forge ahead.
The endeavor began evolving and we took on a consultant, S Q Uirrel. The four of us have a great working relationship and enjoy what we're doing.
I never have to worry about business attire for important meetings. I usually wear my silver-gray and white tuxedo.
