Birding as mainstream

[Susan Knowles <>]

I caught a little of Groundforce on TV last night (installing a new 
garden) and was surprised to see that the garden was aimed at 
attracting native birds.  It did not appear to be ideal (seemed to be 
new hybrid grevilleas, rather than at least some species types which 
provide greater protection etc for small honeyeaters).
However it was trying to provide bird perches, shelter and water so 
was a vast improvement on the usual show of this sort which often 
ignore native plants completely.  It would be nice to think that this 
approach might catch on.
