Possibilities of cooperation between birds and people during farming

Hungarian farmer explores cooperation between birds and people

Boglárka Amrein Tamásné Miskolczi runs an organic farm in Romonya, Hungary, where she practices chemical-free farming. She deals with herbs, medicinal plants, wild berries and fruit trees, including indigenous varieties.

Part of the farm is an extensive Bird-Nest Box Station, where Boglárka helps the lives of the species that settle here with dozens of animal protection tools. Just a few examples: A,B,C,D bird boxes, nesting boxes, swallow’s nestes, bird feeders, drinkers, bird baths, etc. In addition, in order to help and increase biodiversity, she also installed dozens of other species-supporting tools: bat houses, insect hotels, butterflies houses, ladybug farms, futrinka hatcheries, lirad castles, wasp garages, etc.

Thanks to this interconnected, mutually supportive system, Boglárka was able to develop a farming practice in which, with the help of birds and other animals, she not only improved the state of the ecosystem, but also made the farming sustainable and environmentally friendly, in such a way that the quantity and quality of the harvest also increased.
