Bird Food and Feeders
Creating a Bird Friendly Habitat
Attracting Common Backyard Birds
Do you want to attract more birds to your backyard? Here is a head start for your plan to invite more birds to your yard. Below you will find many of our resident and migrant birds and some of the foods that the birds will find irresistible.
Providing water for drinking and bathing is also a good way to attract birds. Moving water will attract birds to your yard. Clean all bird baths occasionally; use a weak solution of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water and rinse well. This will keep the water sparkling clean for your visitors.
