FOOD  Planning for a wide variety of fruiting shrubs and trees, perennial flowers , grasses and seed and nut producing plantings provides natural food sources for birds. Evergreens, shrubs, compost and brush piles are homes to insects that birds need in their diet. You can supplement these natural foods with birdseed mixtures, fruits and nuts. This can be done year round, but is most important in the winter when naturally occurring foods become scarce.

Water Water draws birds to your garden, especially if it is moving or trickling. Fountains and birdbaths will attract our feathered friends and enhance the bird-watching opportunities in your garden. Regular cleaning of these receptacles is important for mosquito prevention and to reduce the spread of avian disease. Site your birdbaths and fountains near tall shrubs and trees where your garden visitors can wait their turn and preen after bathing. In winter, a small electric or solar birdbath heater keeps water available when natural sources may be frozen.

SHELTER  ~ Birdhouses are just one way of providing shelter for your wild birds. Fun to collect and attractive garden accents, birdhouses aren’t always the first choice of residence for wild birds. Brush piles, deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs are the preferred nesting spots for some birds. You’ll find that the birds will decide where they want to live, and it can change year to year. Cleaning out and disinfecting the birdhouses once a year keeps your nesting families healthy.

  1. I found my way here via Melissa’s blog, Empress of Dirt. I’m enjoying looking around and seeing all your ideas. Love the wooden garden lady that you made. I’ll be back to visit again soon.

      Dear Linda ~ How very nice of you to stop by, meet my Garden Lady and tour around the garden! So happy to hear you enjoyed your visit and will come again soon.

  2. Now that our dog has gone to meet his reward, the birds have been very active here this summer! We had at least two nests and MANY visitors! We always make sure we have sunflowers and coneflowers as well as filled bird feeders. Love them!

    • Barb says:

      Sorry to hear about your dog, Kirby! We have one area of our yard fenced just for our two Labs and the birds get the rest! Filled feeders are a great draw for birds as is a water source.
      Happy Birding!
