GARDEN FOES AND GARDEN FRIENDS 14 1 
Some of our familiar birds eat almost nothing but insects. 
Such are swallows, flycatchers, warblers, swifts, and humming 
birds. Others, although not exclusively insect eaters, may 
nevertheless be depended upon to consume insects by the 
multitude. Among these are the bluebird, robin, catbird, 
thrush, chickadee, cedar bird, grackle, and woodpecker. A 
pledge to which every gardener should be proud to subscribe 
is the following: "I promise to do all I can for all native 
birds, by treating them with kindness and providing them 
with food, water, and homes.” ^
