I am not a biologist, veterinarian, or wildlife conservationist. I enjoy learning about the topics on my blog and want to gather and share the information in an accessible and inspiring way, to encourage more people to keep wildlife in mind when designing a garden, patio, or balcony. My posts contain general suggestions. We are all responsible for what we do in our own outdoor space.
If you’re unsure whether a suggestion would actually be good for the specific animals or nature in your area, please consult multiple sources or contact a certified expert. There might also be rules in your area that prohibit certain actions. For example, you might not be allowed to feed birds if you live in a densely populated area, since it can attract rats. There might also be recommendations or even laws against planting certain invasive flowers, despite them being pretty and good for pollinators.
Together, we can learn about our environment and do the best we can for local wildlife.
