Annual event "Help for wintering birds" is held in Kherson!

   Winter for the birds, which do not migrate to the southern countries, it is the most difficult time: hunger and cold. And in the Kherson region, there are many varieties of wintering birds, from sparrow to pigeon. To help the feathered you need to hang out feeders in a time and to organize regular feeding for them. Interesting fact: If the feeder throughout the winter season is always filled, you will save from starvation more than 12 birds!
   In winter feeders in our area visited by more than a dozen species of birds. Among the city it would be chickadees, house sparrows, pigeon and magpies. In a large park in the suburbs or in rural areas, especially in the woods, the species composition is more diverse.
   For nearly 10 years of our feathered friends take care the members of the Regional Center of ecological-naturalistic work of youth. In general, these are children are from different Kherson schools. Every year since the onset of cold weather, they organize an action called "Help for wintering birds".
   February 16, 2012 charity fund of Ustin Maltsev visited the young naturalists. For nearly five years, in this action has been actively involved the team of charity fund. With the help of fund was bought food for birds, which children will bring to feeders near their homes and schools. Philanthropists were very warmly welcomed by friends of nature and they even staged a themed evening. Boys and girls, who represented different clubs, told a lot of useful and fascinating information. For example, chickadees eat only non-salt bacon, and from 10 birds, only one will be able to meet the winter.

   - We are take care about the population of starlings, which from recently time left for the winter in our Kherson region. Starling - special bird because it has small legs and a small beak. And so, when snow covered the ground, it is very difficult to get something to eat for this bird. That's why our naturalists trample small meadows in the snow, where they fill the feed for starlings.... If you want to enjoy and to listen to the chirping of birds in the spring, you need to take care of them during the winter. - Said Kovalenko Inna, teacher-organizer of the Center of ecological-naturalistic work of youth.
   In beginning, the project "Help for wintering birds" was held exclusively by members from the Center of ecological-naturalistic work of youth, but today - it is a large-scale event, which attracts more and more people. So, this year, members of the club "Prolіsok" from Kherson children's library number 17, who followed the example of CF of Ustin Maltsev, helped to feed birds.
   - I want, first of all, thank to all teachers, who organized children from schools and instilled to them a love for nature. Secondly, I would like to appeal to all citizens of Kherson. I want each of us have some minutes on the weekend to make feeder, buy on the market a little bit of food for birds and place it in the yard. This way, everybody can help to support the action "Help for wintering birds" and help save the wintering birds.
   In the system of global consumption the problem of ecology and environmental protection has become very important. We need to remember and to take care of nature. If we instill ecological culture to children, we will create a stable and bright future!
