Attracting Birds to your Garden
Attracting
birds to your garden is easy if you remember to make sure that your
garden will provide food, water, a place to build nests, and protection
from the elements or predators.
Birds will also be attracted by the
geographic location of your garden.
To
find out which birds are in your geographic area, you will need to
consult
specialty magazines or books. Investing in a bird guide is also a good
idea.
Libraries and book stores have many books based on migration,
the routes
that some bird species take to get to their summer or winter homes.
Also, taking
pictures of the birds you see around you and comparing them
with the
informative materials that you already have can be a way to
find out if
these birds are going to make a stop in your area .
Birds
need water. This is very important. A bath or a pool, no matter the
size or
the material, will instantly attract many different kinds of bird
families, even
wild ducks and geese might stop for a drink or a quick bath.
If you arrange a place where they can find some food, bird seed, bread or anything else they might like, this will increase the chances that they will visit your garden. You can try, for instance with corn. The type of seed will determine which birds are attracted to your garden .
The seeds that almost all
birds
prefer are sun-flower seeds, these are extremely easy to find,
and also
inexpensive. Before buying the seeds, you should make a list of all the
birds in
your area and know every bird’s food preferences so you can
provide food for
the widest variety of birds.
These
are the first steps that you have to make to attract birds in your
garden. The
second step is to keep away from the garden all the things that might
scare or
disturb the birds. Children playing in the yard or a
neighbor’s dog can scare
the birds. Try and ask the neighbors to keep the dogs chained or in the
house,
because they are often scared by dogs.
Also,
you must know that some birds do not agree with each other, so that a
certain
species might avoid your garden because there is another species in it.
Others
may stay away because the garden doesn’t look natural enough.
So, knowing
their nature and habits can be a decisive factor in bringing them to
your yard.
