But why not enjoy the song and antics of wild birds all year long? Grow those plants that will provide food, shelter and a place to nest, ensuring a never-ending supply of bird song. Add a bird bath to your landscape to provide everything your winged tenants need.
There is a wide variety of plants you can grow to attract and feed wild birds. Growing a garden specifically for them will ensure the survival of many species of birds. Bird watching is also good for your mental health; there is just something truly special about watching wild birds in their natural habitat. It is well worth being a morning person to catch the show when the birds are the most active. Additionally, attracting wild birds to your garden can be a wonderful learning experience for birdwatchers of any age.
