Attract More Birds into the Garden

Attract More Birds into the Garden

Hey, bird buddies! Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener, chirping in with tips to turn your backyard into a feathered frenzy! We all love those colorful flashes of life flitting through the trees, singing sweet melodies and keeping pesky bugs at bay. But how do we lure these feathered friends to our green havens? Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy, with the right tricks and treats!

Food Glorious Food: Birds crave variety, just like us! Set up a buffet of bird feeders filled with different delights. Sunflower seeds are a classic crowd-pleaser, attracting cardinals, chickadees, and finches. Offer suet cakes for high-energy fuel in winter, and don't forget the nectar-loving hummingbirds with a brightly colored feeder filled with sugar water (recipe below!). Remember, keep feeders clean and well-stocked, especially during harsh weather.

Water Works Wonders: Birdies gotta stay hydrated! Provide a fresh, clean water source like a birdbath or shallow tray. Place it away from predators and direct sunlight, and top it up regularly, especially during hot days. Bonus points for moving water, like a trickling fountain, which birds find irresistible!

Shelter from the Storm: Birds need cozy nooks to escape bad weather and raise their young. Plant dense shrubs and evergreens for natural hideaways, or hang nesting boxes specifically designed for different bird species. Check your local Watters Garden Center for expert advice on the best nesting boxes for your area.

Safety First: Keep cats indoors or build a cat-proof enclosure around your feeders. Place feeders away from windows and fences to prevent collisions, and avoid using pesticides that could harm birds and their food sources.

Remember, attracting birds is a journey, not a destination. So experiment, have fun, and watch your garden become a vibrant sanctuary for our feathered friends. Enjoy the songs, the colors, and the joy of sharing your backyard with these amazing creatures! Happy birding, everyone!

Bonus Tip: Want to attract specific bird species? Research their favorite foods and plants! Watters Garden Center has a wealth of resources to help you create the perfect avian oasis.

See you next time in the garden!
