I bring this up not to boast (well, not much) but because I think that this approach to wildlife travel is somewhat neglected in birding circles. Read most accounts of how birders see birds outside their patch and one way or another, they’re tourists. Nothing forms bonds like rolling around in bird…uh… waste.

This shelter should have an entrance that faces away from the wind, and be covered to protect against harsh weather conditions. Some pets will benefit from specific forms of entertainment, for example, a bird feeder. For cats, a bird feeder provides a constant source of entertainment which will keep them busy for many hours each day.
