Katina Leon
Feeding birds: urban pigeons on the balcony
Katina is a balcony gardener who wants it to be wild and green and for animals to come, she mainly has native plants. She accepts eaten leaves, is happy and researches who might have fed on the leaves. She only intervenes if a plant takes up too much space. Katina Leon has a big heart for birds and other wild animals, they are welcome. She gardens a 25 m² balcony on the 2nd floor in Stuttgart. Katina is committed to pigeons and rehabilitates pigeons. She talks about this today and I am deeply grateful to her for her knowledgeable and humane reporting on these creatures.
Content of the presentation:
Katina loves watching birds and therefore feeds them all year round. Of course, pigeons are also present.
