GreenFormation Kft., together with its associated partners, Transition Wekerle civil organisation, Kiserdő Egyesület, and volunteers, continues the“Wekerle, természetesen!” (Wekerle, naturally!) event series, bringing practical knowledge on urban biodiversity to the local community. On February 8, we held the second event called “Bird-Friendly Gardens – How Can We Help Our Feathered Friends?”, focusing on ways to create welcoming habitats for birds throughout the year.
Abdel-Magid Iván, environmental educator and bird bander from the Hungarian Ornithological and Nature Conservation Association shared expert insights on habitat enhancement for birds. He introduced the most common bird species found in gardens, provided guidance on winter feeding, and explained how to install and provide various types of birdhouses and other shelters to support birdlife in garden spaces.
During the event, we also announced a drawing competition for children and adolescents titled “Do Animals Live at Your Place?”, encouraging young participants to reflect on the wildlife around them.
The event was well attended, with nearly a full house, and birdhouses were raffled among participants.
The series launched as part of the Co-Bio project’s local case study, aims to provide residents with knowledge and practical tools to support urban biodiversity in their own green spaces.
