Ever wondered how to attract birds like the house wren, house sparrow, mourning dove, or dozens of other birds to the garden? In this video, we go over exactly that! You’ll learn:
– General landscaping tips for birds
– How to identify what birds are local to your region
– The type of bird box or bird house each bird prefers, and where to locate it
– The type of food a bird wants to eat
You might be wondering, why would I want MORE birds? They just eat my berries and poke holes in my tomatoes. YES, this is true…but they’re also pollinators, bug destroyers, and improvers of the local ecosystem.
As long as you approach attracting more birds to the garden in an intelligent way that matches the conditions your birds actually WANT, then you’ll get a lot of the benefits without many of the downsides!
