Why everyone needs to create their own butterfly and bird habitat?

  1. Grow native plants for your bird and butterfly habitat. There are 125 species of butterflies in the OC area, who are OC Natives. There are also non-native butterflies in the OC.
  2. Humming birds and butterflies love native plants. Consider Bladderpod—an evergreen shrub with a yellow flower that grows in alkaline soil.
  3. Like people, animals often migrate to places which provide food and water as well as a safe shelter and space where they can properly take care and raise their family.
  4. Such habitats will attract birds, bees, wasps, ants, and other beneficial insects that will help your garden thrive. Moths have cocoons, while butterflies have chrysalis.
  5. There are 153 California animals who are currently being threatened or endangered.
  6. There are 253 California plants that are currently being threatened or endangered.
  7. Black Witch Moth is a beautiful species who require a habitat so it can thrive.
  8. Over 105 million acres have been destroyed for solar farms. Such destruction has also destroyed many wildlife habitats, and many tortoises, coyotes, wolves, lions, etc, have been slaughtered by such Zionists who continue to destroy the earth, one country at a time, for the N.W.O. Agenda. The chemicals used to kill or deform many wildlife animals. Many wildlife animals are now nearing extinction, but I guess that is all a part of their future totalitarian society of robotic and conforming slaves wearing the same uniform. Do you remember seeing many animals in that futuristic cartoon, The Jetsons?
  9. In California, there are 34 Biodiversity Hotspots.
  10. Habitat Loss is also due to hunting, harvesting, pollutions, and exotic species. These worst are the trophy hunters who think that all this animal slaughter and destruction is a fun game, and they are often found all over the internet posing with their dead animal, proud of their murder sprees.
  11. To improve your situation before it is too late, consider solar panels, plant interspecies, greywater irrigation, rain barrels collection, and composting as well as grow native plants.
  12. Hummingbird food isn’t good to use for feeding birds.
