In Pics: 8 Brilliant and Simple Ideas To Help Animals, Birds Survive The Summer #IndiaNEWS #Animal Welfare
While humans are able to acquire the food and water necessary to combat the sweltering summer, it’s not as easy for animals to do so. So a little help from us will go a long way in aiding them to get through the season.
We found some interesting and helpful tried-and-tested methods from kind souls looking to make this summer a little easier on their animal companions. Here’s how you can try them too:
1. Coconut birdhouse
While coconut water is a trusted companion in combating the heat, the whole fruit has cooling properties that can be utilised for other species, such as birds. All you have to do is dig through the coconut to make a hole, where birds can find refuge from the sun.
“A student gave this unique bird feeder to me as a gift, and it has been occupied by a family of wrens for several summers. The young often come to the opening with mouths open, hoping for adults to return with food,� wrote Mauriea Lewis-Wheeler on Pinterest by sharing the picture.

You can make this house yourself by cutting a hole using a drilling machine or a screwdriver. Hang it somewhere outside your house, and watch as tiny birds flock to it for respite.
2. Folding dog house
India is home to about 35 million stray dogs, who are often left exposed to harsh climate conditions, accidents, and abuse. While there are many individuals and organisations trying to care for at least a few, feeding and caring for them remains a divisive issue for many.
If you wish to make life easier for our furry friends outside, this folding dog house is a cost-effective way to provide them shelter. First developed in Thailand by a group called Stand for Strays, this uses the allot model, which is a functional shelter for stray dogs made out of recycled billboards. In this way, it can also help you get rid of old boards.

“The structure is easily deployable and can be set anywhere within the urban context to protect our furry friends from heavy rain and intense heat. The billboard panel is placed flat against a wall, fixed with hinges at its top, but can open at the bottom to create a tent-like canopy for any dog in need. On the back of the panel, a small platform has been installed, keeping the dog above ground level,� reported designboom.
3. Recycled bird feeder
Have you got any thermocol sheets or boxes at home which are the leftovers from some newly-bought home equipment? Go creative and use them to make a bird feeder like this.

A thermocol sheet can help you achieve a temperature drop of about 5 degrees Celsius. Place a clay pot with water and feed inside the thermocol shelter so birds can easily access them. The ideal place to position this is a terrace.
