Birds are one of nature's wonders.

Hello, everybody. Birds are one of nature's wonders. There are among the villagers and among the townspeople who have not wasted their spiritual wealth in pursuit of things and have not profaned. These people love nature and birds - one of its wonders. The gardener should be their elder brother and friend, an advocate of birds. If their songs are primitive, but they sweeten their ears, cleanse the garden from pests.

Look around you, leave your work in the garden for a minute, here's a bird with a long shaky tail running through the beds. And here's a gorovy tail itself looks unsightly, blowing its red-red tail, but on the field are important in the dark cloaks of birds, what kind of birds - thrushes, starlings?

And why haven't we met our neighbors from nearby forest, field and garden so far. And what we can do for them, and what they can do to help us. In winter, in the woods, fields and gardens is empty, you can only meet sedentary birds.

Gray crow

Grey crow. Hundreds of birds have fallen into the flock, sitting silently, watching who goes where and suddenly screams and the whole flock takes off as if on command in the air. A disordered flock rushed in one direction and suddenly turned to the other, screams noise gamma, another circle and turn to the old place.

But the game of ravens curious, one raven will find an object and pretend to want to hide it, others begin to pursue her, who deftly he will take away, and get tired of this game - throw and sit quietly.

The flock is adjoined by birds, those who are left to winter, pebbles and rook, but the law in a pack of ravens and break which no one dares. In small flocks and pairs, in a secret place, they fly to bed darkly. In the morning, the flock scatters. And they will meet again by night. In February they fly to their forest area within a radius of about 1.5 kilometers and get along with their nests.

The first egg is laid in March at the crow's nest and now you can't get out of the nest, the male takes care of food, the herd must feed and himself. And where to get food, the crow doesn't make stocks. Another thing in summer - it's May beetles, even a mouse can catch, so the crow will think that probably it is necessary to go to the city. And after all, many crows have become hereditary townspeople, in the city near a man is nourishing.

Crow

It's a strict solid bird and not a male crow, as many think. It never quarrels with its parents, it is never ruffled, tidy, never destroys the nests of rooks and treats them with respect. Raven bird is very brave, can fight even with an eagle, flies back down, attack try it.

And with ravens, they have no peace. If the ravens attack one, they'll get the poor man from them. And that's why the raven ruins their nests. He chooses a place to nest ravens thoroughly and remains loyal to him for many years. He and the raven build a nest together, and then fix it, repair it every year.

In the last week of February, the female lays the first egg. And she doesn't leave the nest, you can't. The egg can cool down even when the blizzard notices her and she sits still. The chicks hatch within a week, the eldest one about 7 days, and the last one only from the egg. Only the chicks get up on the wing and to the eldest for training when a flock of ravens fly.

How birds predict the weather

Old people predicted the weather by the behavior of ticks and crows. To the snow and snowstorms - if the ticks scream excitedly and uninterruptedly, to the frost - on top of the tree sits, and if the wind then to the lower, and if they sat on the snow - to the thaw.

If the weather is clear - the pebbles raised a scream and gathered in the pack, but if the frost sets in - the raven beak hides under its wing. But you only need to remember by one example what the weather will be recklessly judge. But either way, you just have to note it.

You can often hear her talking to herself. She asks a question and answers with a different voice. The ventriloquist is a singing rainbow. When the magpie begins to moult, she beats into the thickest thicket and does not want to appear tailless and shabby, but at other times she is always in sight, always cheerful and fun in any weather.
