Bird Friendly Cities

Hobbitstee has joined Nature Canada in their effort to create Bird Friendly Cities.

We are excited to be able to contribute to reducing bird mortality and injuries as well increasing urban bird habitat and awareness of birds among citizens.

Some of the key focus factors to making cities bird friendly will be:

Key threats to birds are effectively mitigated

Nature is restored so native bird populations can thrive

Residents are actively engaged in admiring and monitoring local bird populations

Birds are celebrated through events such as World Migratory Bird Day

Progressive municipal policies are created to protect urban bird populations

A Bird Team has been created to oversee and lead these initiatives

Ways you can help

Reducing the likelihood of birds hitting your windows

Keeping your cats indoors

Regularly cleaning your bird feeders to prevent transmission of bird feeder related diseases

Planting native species of plants, shrubs and trees in your yard beneficial to birds

Participating in bird related citizens science

Get involved with our Team Hobbitstee - Project Birdfeeder as a business, volunteer or longterm care facility and help provide well stocked bird feeders and endless hours of viwing pleasure to longterm care facility residents.

Please support our effort and join the discussion on Facebook by joining Bird Friendly Cities - Team Hobbitstee

We hope to add more resources and events soon, so stay tuned...
