A well-designed feeder is key. Opt for ones that suit the bird species you're hoping to attract and are easy to clean for maximum bird comfort.
Different birds love different seeds. For example, sunflower seeds are a favorite for many species, while thistle attracts finches.
Birds need water too. Ensure there’s always fresh water available for drinking and bathing. A birdbath works wonders in hot weather.
Place your feeder near trees or shrubs to offer birds protection from predators. Birds appreciate a safe spot to feed and rest.
Birds avoid areas with chemicals. Keep your garden pesticide-free to create a safe environment for them to feed and nest.
Regular feeding encourages birds to return. Keep your feeders stocked with fresh seeds and clean them regularly to maintain bird health.
Ensure your feeder is in a location where birds can feed without being disturbed. Keeping it away from busy areas helps them feel safe while eating.
