Inuksuk Orchards in Kelowna is building a bird condo, and itsa国际传媒檚 hoping the community will get involved.
sa国际传媒淚sa国际传媒檝e been dreaming about this for a couple of years to put this together,sa国际传媒� orchard co-owner Jetta Williams told the Capital News.
Williams is building a sa国际传媒榗ondosa国际传媒� of connected ladders that hold up colourful birdhouses. She hopes it will create a safe home for the birds while saving the berries and the apples from the orchard for visitors.
Inuksuk Orchards looks after the birds by feeding them and giving them water. Now, Williams is trying to encourage the birds to migrate from the orchard to the bird condo.
Every year, Williams finds around 20 bird nests inside her orchard trees. When she sprays the trees, she worries it might harm the birds. Now shesa国际传媒檚 asking the community to partake in her solution of creating a bird condo.
The orchard asks anyone with extra birdhouses will drop them off for her to add to the project. Her goal is to fill the ladders with at least 40 to 50 birdhouses.
sa国际传媒淲esa国际传媒檒l put it on the ladders and they can drive by and see their birdhouse,sa国际传媒� Williams added. sa国际传媒淗opefully, next spring wesa国际传媒檒l start to see the birds in them.sa国际传媒�
Williams wants to make it a community project, with pathways and benches for people in Kelowna to stop by and enjoy.
sa国际传媒渟a国际传媒ill it right to the top. Thatsa国际传媒檚 my plan, just full of colour,sa国际传媒� said Williams. sa国际传媒淎nd then the birds will just be out here singing all the time.sa国际传媒�
