Choosing to have a pond as a water feature in your garden is an excellent feature to have. A pond is easy to maintain, pretty, and simple to install. They can come in any shape or size, perfect for the person who wants to add a little flavour of diversity to their grasses. With or without fish, ponds are a wonderful garden feature.

If you are going to have fish in your garden pond then it is necessary to ensure that they are kept safe, and do not get eaten. Many animals like foxes are scavangers, so an open pond would be like an all you can eat buffet. This is why it is neccesarry to cover your pond, or keep it enclosed whilst you are not in the garden.

Giving birds a place to rest and eat is a good thing to do no matter if the birds in your area are endangered. When winter hits it is harder for birds to provide for themselves, the ground can become so hard they struggle to eat. Giving birds things to eat stops this from happening, meaning that even the most fragile bird can survive a harsh winter easily.

Having a tall feeder is a good thing for those who have cats or rambunctious dogs, as they may be tempted to pounce the birds.Choosing to protect the wildlife and bird life in your local area is a simple action to take that can change a lot of large things and have a very positive effect on the surrounding area.

Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the animals is a good way to make sure that your garden and the surrounding area looks good. Mealworms are a good thing to give to birds, as they are things that help but not readily available in the wild.
