I have to write a text of my own about how bird conservation began in Switzerland. Unfortunately, I can only find websites that each write something different. Can someone help me explain it to me or write good websites?
Hello everyone, Is it permissible to park a trailer next to a barn on private property in a bird sanctuary? thank you in advance
Whether birds should be fed all year round remains a matter of debate!

I have a rather unusual cat who is very good at hunting. She brings us her "prey" several times a day, usually alive. With mice or similar animals, this is less of a problem, as these animals are usually old enough to simply be released back into the wild after a bit of food/water/rest time….

Just to be clear: let's say someone finds two bird eggs and wants to crush them for no reason. Is that a crime? I don't think it's allowed, right?

After much back and forth with the neighboring administration, it was finally agreed that the rhododendrons had to be replaced. My question is, can we remove them now without further ado or do we…
We have a birdhouse filled with a ready-made bird food mix, and we hang up fat balls. I'm always happy when the little birds are here. Do you also feed the birds? If so, how and what kind of food do you use? Thank you for your answers!
