It sounds like you take dreams too seriously. There are many symbols in your dream but don’t try to look those symbols up because they all differ depending on which one you are reading.

I always dream of my childhood home too. Life was easy and loving there. Those were days of wonderment and joy.

Dreams are a mixture of the days events, what you watched on TV or at the movies, and a little bit of what you ate for dinner. Please don’t worry and do try to enjoy your dreams.

I know that’s not the answer you wanted but we all wish we had a clue about our future so we look for signs. Good Luck

Since I am in the US, I really don’t know what type of woodpecker you have, but I do know how to attract woodpeckers. We have at least one pair of three different species that visit our yard (Downy, Hairy and Red-bellied). They come for the suet (we have log feeders that you put suet plugs into as well as square suet feeders that take the suet cakes), and the peanuts (out of the shell and unsalted only). There are some feeders for woodpeckers that you can put a mix of nuts into as well, but we have enough woodpeckers visit us with what we offer them now, so we have not used that feeder. Nor do we offer mealworms, but have been told by other people that their visiting woodpeckers love them!

Good luck with your woodpeckers! Hope you get them to stay around. They are so much fun to watch!

Aww…I’m really sorry you had to go through that. It’s always sad to lose an animal you’re attached to, and even worse if you accidentally cause it’s death yourself. I do want to say one thing though. You said you tried not to run off the road, and I just wanted to say this – NEVER swerve to miss an animal on the road. Honestly, I can not stress that enough. I grew up in the country, and I know people who have died by simply swerving to try to miss an animal on the road. No matter how much you want to not hit an animal, your own safety has to come first. The only safe course of action is to hit the brakes, but keep going in exactly the same direction. I have been in cars that have hit many animals, as it just unavoidable when you live in the country and especially when you are driving long distances at night. Even if you hit a large animal, it is much safer to hit it than to swerve. Anyway, enough of the road safety subject, but I just wanted to say that, as I think it’s a horrendous waste of life to see a person die by trying not to hit an animal on the road. I am an animal-lover, but no animal is worth dying for, generally speaking.
Re: how to attract owls, I’d suggest buying or making some nest boxes and putting them around the place. Here is a website with some info. About it.

Hope you can attract some barn owls. They’re beautiful creatures. We had them where I grew up, and we ended up having one permanently in our care that had been attacked by a cat and was never able to fly again.
Good luck with bringing them into your area.

Depending on how much property you have…
Since these are all birds of prey, try creating habitat for rodents such as a brush pile. You could also place a deer feeder. The corn from the feeder would also attract squirrels (food for birds of prey) and other wildlife. Another suggestion for deer, try planting good grass (alfalfa, fescue, etc.) or other plants/flowers they might enjoy eating.
You may be able to buy or build a nesting box for owls.
Here in Missouri, our Conservation Dept. Is a great help for projects like this. Try looking up your state’s Conservation Department’s web site. They may have some suggestions and guidelines or a list books on the subject.

1. Breast milk is natural and meant for feeding the baby/child, formulated milk can have harmful effects on the child (i.e. Nestle were actually targeted for the reason that their formula milk was harmful to kids!)

2. I would assume owls and most other birds have very good eye sight to be able to see in the dark, owls have soft feathers meaning they can fly quietly so the prey can’t hear them approaching.

If I wanted to meet party women, I go to the club. If I wanted to meet women that like certain activities, I’d go where the activities were. To attract a sensitive guy, start by asking what you want from the situation. (Even if it includes turning the tables for years of abuse.)

Depends what zone & climate you are in.

For humming birds:
If you are anywhere warm & dry then go for penstemons – P. Barbatus or P.eatonii are great or P.bridgesii . The red Ipomopsis (gilias) are also really good & tend to bloom a little later than the penstemon for a longer season. Try Monarda (in almost any climate) there are several red ones that work really well. Hesperaloe parviflora also causes a few hummingbird fights in my gardens.

For butterflies, butterfly bush is great of course, then also try milkweeds – some butterflies need them to lay their eggs on. Also they seem to love zinnias for some reason, or for that matter many different flatter flowers where they can land to drink nectar.

You should also try to attract bees for the full pollinator garden – they really will not bother you & we need more of them desperately as they are dying out. For those go for foxgloves and snapdragons, penstemons are great too – the purple ones particularly. Also Poppies are awesome as only bees pollinate them – they have no nextar but if you have the oriental poppies the bees mass in them collecting the pollen in the mornings – it is incredible & beautiful to watch. If you are somewhere dry enough one of my all time favorites is Mentzelia decapetala – but it needs to be pretty dry for that.

I hope this helped a little.

Depending on the persons location and the type of butterflies in your area (no good having types that can’t handle temp humidity where the butterfly enclosure will be.unlike a zoo where heating and other things to alter situation happens..
All you need to do to get the butterflies in your enclosure is to have plants that they feed on in the yard outside the enclosure but in pots and when the butterflies come and lay their eggs on them and you see the caterpillars on the plant then remove and place in the enclosure and eventually after the cycle completes you will have you butterflies and the cycle will continue inside the enclosure provided the correct plants are in there might have to renew as will be getting a hard time in there..

I know a woman who built a small shelter beside her house to sit and read. It’s made out of chicken wire. Corners out of rebar. It’s only about 5’5” high . Then she planted all sorts of plants around it so it would look good all summer and smell just as good. In the heat of summer she hated the thing because it was too hot so she planted a bunch of vines all of which were flowering. The third year she had it she heard a strong buzzing sound ,thought she had the biggest bee’s in the world, it was a humming bird . .. Weeks later she realized this bird had nested and was raising young. These little darlings have been coming back for 15 years.

I get hummingbirds in my garden already but before they arrived, I did try seed pods and trays of seeds to get corinellas and such but with no luck. When the flowers are blooming, there seems to be a myriad of hummingbirds. I suppose it depends on the type of flowers that attracts them. They seem to like bell-shaped flowers more than anything else.

After hearing the sqawking of corinellas in the next block, I’m glad they didn’t come to my house.

The key to attracting women, and I’m completely, serious when I say this, is….confidence. If you don’t have it, then fake it. Really girls could sense when guys are feeling awkward or are being too nice or too needy. You have to act confident and masculine, meaning you take control…and you could learn to take control in small steps. Like smiling at a girl that you see and find pretty….many guys find this extremely hot, so learning to do this takes major guts. Also going up to a girl and telling her that she’s pretty. Asking questions about her and making her laugh.

Looks hardly matter…you don’t need muscles, a stubble, tattoos or skinny jeans. You just need to act like you know you look good and do not have any problem on what anyone else thinks of you.
Ever seen girls dating these really obnoxious guys or weird looking guys and wonder, wtf does she see in him? Well, that my friend is confidence. And you need it. But don’t worry…you’ll learn to develop it as you get more practice talking to girls…so get to it!

Sounds like you need more cover in your yard. For now a bunch of tree branches and brush cuttings piled up around the feeders may help. The thicker and taller the better.
Also provide water.

You may have a hawk or a shrike hanging around.

Also, cats are literally kill more birds than any other enemy. No one seems to know the definition of “HOUSE” cat.
I periodically throw a can full of stones into the corner of the yard — the commotion frightens those dang intruders without hurting them — and the birds return within minutes.

I also live in the Midwest and enjoy watching birds in my yard. Here’s how you can attract some of the most common wildbirds in the midwest: To attract chickadees, feed them sunflower seeds, suet, and peanuts. Use a hopper, tube, or platform feeder.
To attract woodpeckers: sunflower seeds, suet, corn, fruits, peanuts.
For bluebirds: suet, fruits, berries.
For cardinals: Safflower seeds, sunflower seeds.
Safflower seeds also attract: Jays, nuthatches, chickadees, and sparrows.
To Attract Pigeons: Cracked corn. You’ll also attract juncos, sparrows, and many finches.
Great for seeing many Goldfinches: Nyger (or thistle seed) in a tube feeder.
As for getting close to birds, it all depends on the species you want to get close to.
Check out this link for more information on tips for photographing various birds:

Orioles: love oranges, berries, and grapes.
Also, make sure to keep some water out so the birds can drink and bathe. Keep it close to the bird feeders.

Yes birds are attracted to color and shiny objects.Hummingbirds are attracted to the color red because that’s the color of the flower they drink nectar out of.In the breeding season females are attracted to colorful males like peacocks.Females pick colorful males because it shows that the male is healthy and he can pass on a good gene.Crows are attracted to shiny objects. They may fly off with bits of foil or even jewelry if given a chance.

admin answers:

Very bad idea. Sounds like a senior prank;)

The birds won’t see the seed until the sun comes up. If the lot isn’t a normal source of food, they may not notice it at all on the first day. Depending on how many seed-eaters are in the territory, you could be looking at 10 birds, or 110 – but don’t expect a mob unless the area is already filled with birds. It usually takes a few days for them to discover new food sources.

Please don’t feed bread to wildlife. Bread is not a natural food source, and it’s unhealthy for birds. When left to go moldy – it’s deadly.

I’m not particularly fond of this idea. Cars and birds don’t mix – especially during nesting season.

Try a few other locations. An open area, with nothing over the feeder. Maybe spread some bird food on the ground. Keep the pets away, especially cats. There are periods when birds do not visited feeders frequently. When raising young. Make sure the bird food is not contaminated with fungus or bacteria.

It would help if you could identify birds in your area. That way you could find out their food preferences. Check with neighbors that feed birds or check with a local bird watching club or Audubon.

admin answers:

Birds in a backyard is an enjoyable experience for many. Children love to get involved in naming the different birds and birdwatching is a serious hobby for many people. For those who would like to attract more birds to a yard or garden, here are some great tips.

Step 1-The easiest thing to do to attract birds is to affix a bird feeder somewhere in the yard, patio or garden so they may eat. Different birds like different things: a hummingbird needs special sugar syrup in a liquid, goldfinches like thistleseed, starlings and nuthatches enjoy peanuts (raw, never salted), bluejays like sunflower seeds and sparrows like millet.

Step 2-Another easy way to attract birds is to plant a few favorite flowers of the birds. Hummingbirds enjoy red flowers, and those that produce nectar. Obvious choices are hibiscus and honeysuckle.

Step 3-Birds also enjoy fruits. Fresh or dried fruits can be used. Orioles, Mockingbirds and Western Tanagers like apples or oranges.

Step 4-Adding a bird bath to a garden or yard with no pond will also encourage birds to stop by. Birds are especially attracted to running water so a little fountain bubbling softly will be nice for them. Use recycling pumped water so that water is not wasted.

Step 5-Birdhouses or nestboxes are another way to encourage birds ‘spend the night’ at your house.

admin answers:

It is best to have bird food in the garden 12 months of the year, and they will notice it, even when not needed, such as when there is an abundance of wild food out there.

If you have fences, you could attach feeders to these. The main bird feed used in my garden are fat balls (disappearing at the rate of 1 a day at present, due to the newborn), sunflower seeds, eaten by tons of birds, and mixed seed feeds.

For tub growing, I’d go for a range of plants, some evergreen and some deciduous. This will provide shelter and cover, as well as somewhere to sit and rest. Look for a hardy Hibiscus plant, a shrub that is deciduous, and flowers for your benefit during the summer too. Find a slower growing conifer, otherwise they’ll want to be huge trees in next to no time, and this will provide some evergreen cover. Honeysuckle would be great in a tub, this produces berries for autumn/wionter feeding, as well as sweetly scented flowers during summer. Pyracantha is a wall shrub, meaning it can be grown to cover a wall – these have flowers and berries for winter feeding – loved by blackbirds etc. Blackbirds also love apples, so you could include a small apple tree, or just feed them some occasional apples – I cut the tops off them, and then they peck away at the inside.

Here are some links to photos and info:
Hardy Hibiscus – http://springhillnursery.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_08151

Conifer – http://www.conifer.com.au/objectlibrary/1450
Dwarf apple – http://www.gardens4you.co.uk/index.php?/Patio/Dwarf-Growing-Apple-Red-Spur.html

Style your garden to suit your tastes, and incorporate something for the birds that you’d like. I’m not sure if you just would like more birds, or to attract specific ones, as some of them have special tastes – eg. Goldfinch birds love Nyger seeds (I placed this into my garden and after a couple of months, Goldfinches miraculously appeared!) Just beware of really fast growing conifers, which could take all of your light. I’m not sure where you live, so I’ve included plants that can be grown pretty much everywhere.

Finally, give them water too, to bathe in and to drink, which they may need after eating seeds. If you have a safe spot for a nesting box, put this up as soon as possible, as the birds will know where it is, long before nesting time, in preparation for use.

Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob

admin answers:

In addition to various mixes of wild bird seed and black sunflower seed, you can offer nectar for hummingbirds, and grape jelly for orioles (you can get jelly feeders at any wild bird store) Suet will attract woodpeckers, nuts and pinecones rolled in peanut butter will bring in chickadees and blue jays. You can also take apples and oranges and cut them in half and peg them on tree branches (or on wooden dowels attached to a flat board hung on a tree) for catbirds and other fruit eaters. You can offer mealworms for insectivores as well.

Vary your feeders – some birds are ground feeders and will not eat at a hanging feeder; other birds prefer something about 3-4 feet off the ground.

If you want to keep squirrels out of your birdseed, get exclusionary feeders. Some work on weight – when a squirrel or large bird gets on the feeder, the openings for the feed close and the animal can not get to the seed – and some of them work on size – the feeder is encased in a wire cage, and the openings are too small for a squirrel or large bird to get through, but the small birds fit through the wire and can eat.

Don’t forget a birdbath – you will attract as many birds by providing water for drinking and bathing as you will attract with food.

Also, if your yard is big enough to place some nesting boxes away from the feeding area, you may get some birds to raise their families there. Just never place the nesting boxes close to the food, as the food attracts predators that could invade the nest boxes and destroy the eggs or eat the babies.

admin answers:

Go to your local pet or feed store, buy a bird seed mix. They love the sunflower seeds best (get the bird ones, the roasted and salted human ones aren’t good for the birds). Just put this out and the birds will come. I started doing this on my deck so the cat would have something entertaining to watch through the windows while I was at work…and after a few weeks had literally hundreds of birds a day come by in the mornings and evenings for seeds. Then the cat (who sometimes would sit outside and watch them) figured out how to catch the birds and I had to stop.

Try to feed them in a way they aren’t vulnerable to predators and cats (I thought I had this figured out but my cat must be smarter than me). Once a couple birds find your seeds, others will see them and it will become a zoolike endeavor. I’ve been feeding a bit lately in a more protected spot and have about a dozen species that come in for food, it’s very fun to watch!
