4 easy ways to bring birds to your garden.

Whether your home is set on rural acreage or a suburban street, you can attract birds to your garden by following these 4 steps:  

  1. Plant habitats - Think about the variety of shrubs and flowers in your garden. It can be as simple as laying a patch of wildflower meadow turf.
  2. Water sources - Whether it’s a bird bath or an existing bath or an existing pond, birds will appreciate having a place not only to drink but also to bathe.  
  3. Bird homes - Try installing several nest boxes to attracting mating pairs and encourage new bird families to settle in your garden.  
  4. Feeding - Boost the bug life your planting encourages by adding an insect house. These typically contain many small cavities where insects can shelter. As insects move in, they become a rich food source for birds. You can also attract birds by installing a bird feeder.
