Bird Nesting

Creating nesting areas for native birds

Birds play a crucial role in our ecosystems, serving as seed dispersers, pollinators, scavengers, pest controllers, nutrient cyclers, and ecosystem engineers. However, as the habitats of our beautiful native birds are being reduced due to the increasing destruction of forests and bushlands, we as humans have a vital role in altering how we develop our infrastructure. By attuning ourselves to the communicative natural world, we acknowledge and live consciously as sentient beings within the ecosystem, harmonizing with all life forms.

Birds Nest

Fallen logs and trees with hollows become cozy havens for a variety of bird species, playing a crucial role in a vibrant ecosystem! This lively ecosystem narrates its stories through the enchanting songs carried by their sound vibrational frequencies. Nature is a boundless source of creativity, celebrating itself as a conscious, living resonance of light that endlessly creates infinite sound vibrations!

Human beings are also a vital participant in this same vibrant ecosystem and we are called ot actively or passively participate in harmony of all that is. It is an opportunity that presents itself constantly it is up to us to be wise in our participation ensuring that we create knowing that we can ensure the cycling or resources so the energy moves through without causing harm or create unwanted waste.

Tree hollow

Being mindful of what domestic animals that can also be predators to the native birds is important, so that if something is nesting or the hollows are too close to the ground and might put them in danger, then shifting that environment may also be necessary. Planting shrubs, trees, groundcovers increases not only the biodiversity but creates a wonderful land that is safe for its inhabitats.

Planting trees on verges in home and community gardens can establish wildlife corridors for birds, offering safe spaces for cohabitation, nesting, and providing food and shelter. Even after trees reach the end of their life cycle, the hollows formed within them serve as excellent nesting sites for various birds, including owls, parrots, cockatoos, gliders, rosellas, and more.

Tree hollows are not just used by birds; they also serve as homes for various mammals such as ringtail possums, sugar gliders, Antechinus, microbats, and brush possums. Therefore, when you come across a tree that has reached the end of its life cycle, consider its role in the natural rhythm, providing essential habitats for many creatures.

There are so many ways we can attune to natures biorhythm and thrive, creating and conserving our green spaces serves us all in infinite ways.

Happy greening with nature!💚
