Rather than simply repeating the same pages from one edition to the next, I want each issue to contain something new and interesting for our readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New Page \u2013 Non-Profit Bird Organisation of the Month<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I have also introduced a new page called <strong>\u201cNon-Profit Bird Organisation of the Month.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each month, I will choose a non-profit bird organisation that I personally sponsor by giving them space in the magazine to help introduce their work to our readers. I hope this will allow more bird lovers to discover organisations doing valuable work for birds and wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helping Me Feed the Garden Birds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The garden birds continue to be an important part of my World Wide Birds projects, and keeping them supplied with food can become quite expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have therefore included a link to my <strong>Buy Me A Coffee<\/strong> page for anyone who would like to help me purchase more <strong>suet balls, fruit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwbirds.co.za\/dir\/live-food-for-finches\/\">mealworms<\/a> and seed<\/strong> for the birds visiting the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any support would be very much appreciated. \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udc26<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also like to give recognition to those who support my work, as I have done in some of my previous YouTube videos.

The plants we grow can provide food, shelter and valuable habitat for birds and other wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new section will allow me to share plants that can form part of a more bird-friendly garden, including plants I am working with myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More World Wide Birds Videos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, I have also included links to my <strong>latest YouTube videos<\/strong>.
