Wild birds need our help. Nearly 30% of the bird population(总数) in North America has disappeared(消失) over the past 50 years. By making a few simple changes, you can help turn your neighbourhood into a safe habitat(栖息地) for birds. Here’s how to get started.
1.
Spring is a nesting(筑巢) season, and birds like to pick up natural materials(材料) to build their homes. Instead of clearing the materials off, leave small sticks where they are, so the birds can easily get to them.
2.
Build or buy a nest box or birdhouse made of wood. Other materials, like plastic, can get too hot for birds. Carefully put your birdhouse in a safe place.
3.
If you have a bird feeder, keep the seed dry. Also, clean your feeder in the dishwasher or with hot water at least once every two weeks [don’t use soap(肥皂)]. Let it dry before filling it again.
4.
When a bird looks at a window, it sees a reflection(反射) of the sky or trees instead of glass. This is why many birds fly into windows by mistake. You can help them out of danger by making your windows safe for birds.
5. What are you going to do to help birds live a safe life in your neighbourhood? (Answer no more than 15 words)

1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C
5. I will share the knowledge of bird protection in the neighbourhood.(回答不多于15个单词,答案不唯一,没有语法错误,合理即可)
