Do you want to attract more birds to your back yard? Having decorative birdhouses and bird feeders is a great way to introduce your people to nature and something the whole family can share. Having a bird friendly yard has never been more important. Nearly 80 percent of wild habitat in the United States is in private hands and an average of 2.1 million acres each year are converted to residential use.
One way to attract birds is to set your own bird feeder station. Make sure it’s close to your rustic birdhouse so that the birds can come and go to each with ease. Another way is to set up a source of clean water for drinking and bathing in a bird bath. It is fun to watch the birds flapping their wings “bathing” in the water. A third way is to providing nesting materials.
