Donation Of Birdfeeders Made To Residents Of Hospice Peterborough To Bring Them Extra Comfort
/In a heartwarming show of community collaboration, the Peterborough Field Naturalists, led by member King Baker, and local business The Avant Garden Shop came together to donate multiple birdfeeders and a pole to Hospice Peterborough to bring extra comfort to local residents.
The bird feeders, which seed was carefully chosen to support native species through the winter, were placed in the residence garden at Hospice Peterborough. A hummingbird feeder will be added in the spring.

The addition of bird feeders is normalizing, and will bring joy to the private residence gardens at Hospice. If this pandemic has taught us anything, it is that it's often the little pleasures such as watching birds that enriches our lives.
“The residents, their families, and even staff are going to receive such a healing distraction seeing the birds flit around outside their windows—especially in the upcoming months,” says Alison Casey, Manager of Development at Hospice.
