Inuksuk Orchards in Kelowna is building a bird condo, and it含羞草研究社檚 hoping the community will get involved.
含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檝e been dreaming about this for a couple of years to put this together,含羞草研究社� orchard co-owner Jetta Williams told the Capital News.
Williams is building a 含羞草研究社榗ondo含羞草研究社� of connected ladders that hold up colourful birdhouses. She hopes it will create a safe home for the birds while saving the berries and the apples from the orchard for visitors.
Inuksuk Orchards looks after the birds by feeding them and giving them water. Now, Williams is trying to encourage the birds to migrate from the orchard to the bird condo.
Every year, Williams finds around 20 bird nests inside her orchard trees. When she sprays the trees, she worries it might harm the birds. Now she含羞草研究社檚 asking the community to partake in her solution of creating a bird condo.
The orchard asks anyone with extra birdhouses will drop them off for her to add to the project. Her goal is to fill the ladders with at least 40 to 50 birdhouses.
含羞草研究社淲e含羞草研究社檒l put it on the ladders and they can drive by and see their birdhouse,含羞草研究社� Williams added. 含羞草研究社淗opefully, next spring we含羞草研究社檒l start to see the birds in them.含羞草研究社�
Williams wants to make it a community project, with pathways and benches for people in Kelowna to stop by and enjoy.
含羞草研究社満卟菅芯可绂Fill it right to the top. That含羞草研究社檚 my plan, just full of colour,含羞草研究社� said Williams. 含羞草研究社淎nd then the birds will just be out here singing all the time.含羞草研究社�
