Maybe it’s obvious why we do it – birds are beautiful and fun to watch, and we like to see them up close. Many like to feel that they are helping birds by providing food. While there has not been as much research on the topic as you might think, the literature does have good news for you “I’m helping the birds” types - it turns out you may be right. A study published in the journal Conservation Physiology looked at the health of birds in areas with and without bird feeders in Illinois, and they found that, in terms of several physiological measures, birds were healthier and less stressed in areas with bird feeders. They did find an increase in diseases like conjunctivitis and avian pox in the feeder areas, but concluded that this was offset by the improved overall health of the birds. It may be worth noting that this research was funded by the bird feeding industry, including the Scott’s company, which was fined $12.5 million dollars in 2012 for knowingly and illegally selling bird seed laced with pesticides toxic to birds.

A garden oasis drew in hundreds of nature lovers out of the cold and into the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center early on Saturday morning. In the Seaport from March 13 to March 17, the Boston Flower and Garden Show exhibited 20 garden displays and hosted dozens of shops. While foot-traffic was heavy, the tranquil sounds of garden fountains and streams could still be heard over the chatter. Bursts of color and the fragrance of fresh flowers filled the room with excitement for spring.
Other potential food sources for bears include garbage or open compost. They could also go after bee hives, chicken and livestock.
Steele takes into account a variety of factors in the cost installation cost estimate, including whether or not he’ll need extra bodies to help him move the feature into place.

Long inscrutably cool, Netflix execs seem to have suddenly recognized that the audience is growing restless with this push towards TV business as usual. Programming chief Ted Sarandos put out a statement, which he never does, about the One Day at a Time cancellation. Acknowledging that the sitcom appealed to many underserved communities — the family is Cuban-American, the main character is a single mom with PTSD from her time in the Army, her daughter is gay — the corporate Twitter account followed with this disingenuous bit of garment-rending:
"We went to a psychologist," Luis said through an interpreter Saturday morning at White Sox spring training. "He told us, 'Hey, I think you need to put him in to play some sports.' And then around age 9 or 10, we put him in to play sports."
