Behind my apartment is a big mulberry tree, its branches arching over the warped tar rooftop of a factory that shreds cabbage for egg rolls. Believe or not, this unsightly combination is a sort of wildlife habitat. Flocks of starlings, morning doves, rock doves (pigeons) and English sparrows feed on the mulberries and bathe in frenzied flocks. There are a few problems with this arrangement-- mainly that the puddles dry up on the birds, but seem to be there long enough for lots of mosquitoes to hatch.
