Many parts of the country have been experiencing drought conditions. What are you doing to to help wildlife overcome this?

I always put out water for the birds, and insects. The seasons are all out of kilter because of the much debated "climate change" and I try to help them in any way I can. We need them as much as they need us.
In our part of the country, there is no drought at this time, although it has not rained as much this season. I haven't started putting out any water for wildlife as yet.
I fill up my neighbours one all the time, its very big....and saves me buying one.
I discourage pesky pidgeons because they are so annoying!

Wouldn't mind having some other birds in my garden though! Better than possums as well.
The one in the photo is a Rose Robin. You SW Australians could have a try at attracting that beautiful little fellow.

Stunning image!
We do, and I encourage the kids to put extra water bowls out on hot days. We have had some beautiful King Parrots come down for a drink and just seeing them up close was a wonderful reward.

Not in a mosquito-ridden area you don't!
Maybe you need to add a couple of mosquito fish to your aqua offerings.

We have 3 filled plastic container on the veranda table full of water, & a birdbath on the side of the driveway, in the garden. On the verandah, we feed the kookaburra's, a family of 5 butcherbirds, & a family of 4 magpies 2 grade mince from Aldi.We also have lots of lorries, rosellas & king parents, & they get fed the grey coloured sunflower seeds, which are better for them, than the black sunflower seeds. We buy big bags of the seeds from a local pet shop.
