Attract Wild Birds and Song Birds

...by Giving them What They Need!

Jealousy.

It's an ugly emotion and a hard thing to admit, but that's what I used to feel whenever I walked past the Foster's backyard fence and saw that it was alive with birds and butterflies.

I knew they woke up every morning listening to song sparrows outside their bedroom window. And that they spent many hours on their back porch every day watching the butterflies flit from flower to flower.

That's what I wanted in my own backyard!

I swear I stood drooling over their fence most days like a kid at a candy store window.

Face it, wouldn't you love to have busy backyard bird feeders with a wide variety of birds and butterflies fluttering about?

You can you know...

Wild birds require three essentials to life. Work within their needs and you'll attract more of them to your yard.

1. Offer feed.

2. Offer water.

3. Offer shelter.

Let's talk about attracting wild birds with feed first...

You can bring the birds into your backyard really fast by attracting them with feeders teaming with their favorite foods.

That's right!

You can attract the birds you choose simply by knowing ahead of time the type of food they favor and the feeders that they will (or will not) attend!

  • If Chickadees and Jays are your favorite, get your sunflower seeds out with a large enough perch for the heavy Blue and Gray Jays.

  • If Mourning Doves are in your sights, provide cracked corn and breadcrumbs on a stable feeder - something large enough to accommodate their big feet.

The fact is that in US and Canada there are over 30 different birds and species that frequent backyard feeders. Each have their own specific tastes and food requirements.

For instance:

  • Birds preparing for a long migratory flight instinctually yearn for high energy food - berries and nectar are at the top of their lists. 

  • Birds preparing for the long winter ahead however, are drawn to higher fat and protein content foods such as sunflower seeds and suet.

Wild birds Will Come for A Variety of Feeder Treats

Apple or orange slices, soaked raisins and currants, thistle seed or small sized mixes, mealworms and more. Each have their preference.

You can also plant specific shrubs, trees or flowers to attract birds!

To do this with any level of success you'll need to spend some time researching the matter. Just as certain birds are attracted to particular feeder treats, they also have their plant preferences.

Hummingbirds are drawn to red trumpet shaped flowers, while all variety of finches simply love juniper berries. 

You'll also want the plants in your backyard to serve you as well...

You can have both a beautiful garden and a place that birds love with just a little research and planning. Choose shrubs, trees and flowers with varying bloom times (ensuring that your garden is always pleasing to your eyes) and attract birds like crazy - providing food and shelter for them year round.
