Quotes by Dan Brauning

“Theres no secret to being successful attracting birds to your yard.”

“Bluebirds were in deep trouble in the mid 1900s, just before Americas environmental awaking in the 60s. Just about everything seemed to be working against this handsome, and extremely popular songbird. But the situation started to improve for bluebirds in the 1960s and 70s as more and more Americans rallied to help by placing nest boxes in their backyards and creating bluebird nest box trails.”

“That bluebirds currently nest in all of Pennsylvanias 67 counties is directly related to the interest Pennsylvanians have shown toward bluebird conservation and doing something more for wildlife in their yards over the past 50 years. But we should not consider the bluebirds comeback a done deal, because their existence seems destined to hinge on the continued involvement of people who care about the species. If people stop putting out nest boxes for bluebirds, there undoubtedly will be serious repercussions.”
