As a dedicated gardener, I take it upon myself to protect the delicate seeds and crops I nurture by using bird-friendly nets. It can be disheartening to witness the damage and loss of crops, but it's important to remember that birds are not pests; they play a crucial role in the larger ecosystem—a system that we humans often interrupt. Recognizing this, I believe it's essential for us to adjust our practices and live in harmony with these creatures. In my garden, I designate certain plants specifically for birds and insects, while keeping the rest under protection. The presence of birds, with their charming looks, melodious songs, and the simple pleasure they bring to our lives, greatly contributes to our mental health. Moreover, birds help in seed dispersal through their droppings, and they control populations of harmful insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. A world without birds would be one with an abundance of these detrimental insects.
