Bolgiano's Bird Houses 



KEEP YOUR BIRDS AT HOME 



Great enthusiasm is now being shown in the protection of our 

 native song birds ; fewer birds migrate because the many bird 

 friends are doing all in their power to keep the birds at home 

 by placing feeding boxes and shelters conspicuously on their 

 lawns and groves, to feed and shelter them from the Winter 

 storms. In doing this you are furnishing food for the birds when 

 it is impossible for them to find food from natural sources. 



You understand birds are great insect destroyers ; it is reported 

 by the United States Department of Agriculture that Blue Birds, 

 Robins, Black Capped Chickadee, House Wren, Brown Thrasher, 

 Cat Birds, Bam Swallows, Towhee, Song Sparrows, Field Spar- 

 rows, Purple Grockle, Baltimore Oriole, Meadow Lark, Red 

 Winged Blackbird, Bobalink, Blue Jay, Phoebe, Flickers, Red 

 Headed Woodpeckers and Yellow Billed Cuckoo are all great 

 insect destroyers. The Governmimt has gone very extensively 

 in their investigation, and on examining the stomach of the birds 

 they have found the larger percentage of its contents to be in- 

 sects, and many of these insects are giving the fruit growers the 

 most trouble ; had our birds been protected years ago, spraying 

 would not be necessary today. From the Government investiga- 

 tion was learned another important truth, that birds feed on 

 weed seed, and this is of great benefit to the American farmer, 

 as it reduces the crop of weeds that oftentimes prove a destruc- 

 tion to crops in wet seasons. 



Why should we neglect something so important and something 

 that means so much to our welfare? Let us impress you to start 

 now and use your best efforts to protect your birds and keep 

 them at home. 



Put up feeding boxes and feeding shelters. Keep plenty of 

 feed in them. We can supply you with the many different varie- 

 ties. Wild seeds make a good feed for the birds. If you want 

 birds to have their home in the grove near home, take advantage 

 of the opportunity now and put up bird nest boxes. They will 

 build their nests there in the Spring, thus making your home a 

 source of pleasure with their morning songs. What is more 

 beautiful than having all the trees filled with birds warbling their 

 songs ? Don't delay in putting up the bird box nest, as they 

 locate their nest building early. 



We wish we could make our words strong enough for you to 

 understand that it is just as much profit for you to feed and care 

 for the birds as it is to feed and look after your poultry. Writa 

 to the Department of Agriculture for Farmers' Bulletin No. 630. 

 This will give you knowledge that will cause you to study the 

 bird proposition and you will get busy in doing all you should 

 to make your location a place for birds to dwell.
