6 Ways to Attract More Birds to Your Yard
1. Put Out The Welcome Mat
Enhance your backyard by landscaping with native plants and
providing feeders, natural food sources, water, shelter and nesting
sites.
2. Prepare A Proper Menu
Refill feeders regularly with foods suited to the birds in your
area and the season.
3. Keep It Clean
Clean feeders and baths as well as feeding areas regularly.
4. Eliminate The Eliminators
Keep cats indoors. A 1997 study by the American Birding
Association showed that cats were a significant source of mortality
among birds that come to feeders.
5. Keep It Safe
Avoid using pesticides, herbicides or other dangerous chemicals
where birds feed, bathe, or nest.
6. Remove Obstacles
Reduce window collisions. Keep feeders at least 3 feet from
windows and add decorations to windows where collisions occur.
