At Digital Spice, we love working with people who are making a real difference – and this month’s feature from 'The Spice Rack' is a perfect example. Stop Birds Drowning is a website featuring Bird Island, an ingenious Aussie invention created by Ornithologist Del Richards, designed to prevent birds and other wildlife from drowning in pools, dams, ponds and water troughs.
If you’ve ever found a bird, lizard, or even a small marsupial trapped in a body of water, you’ll know how heartbreaking it can be. Del saw this happening all too often and decided to do something about it. His clever device is simple, effective and lifesaving – giving our feathered and furry friends a safe way to climb out of trouble.
There's more to Bird Island than you think! Del's unique design is more than just a flotation device, it's been specifically designed to create a safe drinking platform for birds, bees and small animals, preventing animals from drowning and helping to keep water clean. It's made from high quality UV stabilised materials, providing many years of saving animals in harsh Australian climates.
When Del approached us at Digital Spice, he already had the product and an existing website, but he needed a way to get it out there more effectively – to show landowners, pool owners and animal lovers that there is a solution. That’s where we came in.
We designed and built a brand new - purpose focused website called 'Stop Birds Drowning' that explains the problem, introduces Del’s brilliant invention, and makes it easy for people to purchase online. The goal was simple: connect the right customers with the right solution. Now, Del’s lifesaving idea is reaching more happy customers (and wildlife!) across Australia – and beyond.
With reviews like the one below - it's no wonder Del's invention is making a real impact!
"The Bird Islands cut down on wildlife losses as much as 90%."
