Planting Trees, Shrubs, and Vines

These tables, of course, are incomplete and do not tell the whole truth regarding the fruit diet of the birds, but simply summarize the results of observations and investigations as far as the records have been available. The records could be extended and the author would gladly welcome any additional data so as to make them as complete as possible.

A complete list of fruits eaten by some of the birds would probably include nearly the whole range of wild fruits; but in addition to the list already given, there are some other fruits which birds have been known to eat: sweet gum, rose, poison ivy, nightshade, sassafras, dewberry, bear-berry, crow-berry, black alder, wintergreen, gray birch, oaks, pines, and moonseed.
