Birds can be a wonderful addition to your garden’s natural beauty and appeal.
A bird-friendly garden can become a haven for local bird species, and you, your family, and house guests can relish in bird-watching in your backyard. There are several ways that you can make your green outdoors spaces more enticing to feathered species. You can follow these tips to start inviting birds to frolic in your garden.
- Birds will relish in a birdbath. Your local nursery or hardware store should have a range of birdbaths, which can simply be placed in your garden bed. Refill the bath water each time you are watering your plants.
- Refrain from feeding local birds. It is not appropriate to feed birds in their natural habitat, because it could upset their natural foraging and feeding patterns.
- Plant native trees such as wattles, banksias and bottlebrush to attract birds.
- Have a variety of flowering plants so that you have flowers in bloom throughout the entire year, to accommodate for migrating birds.
