Bird sanctuary at Oak Haven

 
This video was taken on my farm at Oak Haven®. It’s so meditative to watch the precious movement of these newborns, with a last remaining egg–barely cracked with a baby bird–ready to feel the warmth and love of this world.
 
Here are some tips to start your own bird sanctuary:
  • No feral or stray cats (prey animals like birds will instinctually fear being around the predator)
  • Bird boxes must be 8ft off the ground (on a tall wooden pole)
  • Clean the bird boxes (ones that open easily; must be cleaned out and disinfected after nesting every year)
  • Put up bird feeders within 100 feet (use the food for the bird you want to attract); here’s a how-to for a simple bird feeder using citrus peels

I feel so blessed with my connection with animals. Do you have a mindful animal story to share or do you want to create a mindful connection with animals?
