Helping Humans
Countless variables make up our world, and not the least of which are humans. Yes, humans are part of the environment too, and can benefit from birdhouses. How? There is satisfaction that comes from our efforts when we create something made from wood, and when we see the results of our efforts, it makes us feel good. It makes us healthy!
It's easy to make small projects using wood, including houses designed for birds and structures designed to help feed them. Consequently, when we perceive the sights and sounds of singing birds, it gives us a feeling that our contributions are helping the environment in which they live.
Indeed, people can appreciate birds. Not only do their feathers vary in color, their sizes vary as well. Some are tiny, while others are incredibly large. Of the six animal categories belonging to the biological kingdom (kingdom Animalia), birds are arguably the most diverse. Yes, the avian world is amazing.
Fun Facts
And how beautiful are bluebirds? Yes, they are magnificent to look at. Nature works with the feathers of a bluebird, as the feathers don't really have any blue pigment, but only appear blue to the human eye. When light is shining directly on them, the feathers look blue, but during low light, or when light is not directly shinning on them, feathers look gray or black. A process known as "structural coloration" allows keratin protein structures found in hair and feathers to act as prisms that scatter light and amplify the blue wavelength. The blue wavelengths of light are perceived by our eyes, causing the feathers to look blue when they're really not.
When considering every type of creature on earth, creatures with feathers are the colorful ones. Collectively, feathers can possess every color of the visible light spectrum, including non-colors of white and black. Their feathers are able to capture light and turn them into radiant colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet, and all the infinite possibilities in between. It's easy to notice every distinguishable feature, such as the beak, head, back, throat, breast, wings, tail, and legs. They constantly remind us of how significant their contributions are.
Birds are amazing!
Yes, we can appreciate birds when we help them, because they help us in return. We owe a lot to birds. It's soothing to our mind to see them flying through the blue sky and hear them singing in the early morning. And just the satisfaction that we get by helping them makes us happy and healthy.
The Sun Conure
Birdwatchers can especially appreciate all bird-species. The feathers of various species are capable of producing several radiant colors, such as the feathers of the Sun Conure.
