Expert Tips for Birdwatching
As avid birdwatchers ourselves, we want to help you make the most of your bird-friendly garden. Here are some expert tips to enhance your birdwatching experience:
1. Create a Variety of Feeding Stations
Set up different types of feeders and offer various feed options to attract a wide range of bird species. This diversity will increase the likelihood of different birds visiting your garden.
2. Provide Sheltered Areas
Place feeders and birdhouses near trees or shrubs to create natural sheltered areas. Birds will appreciate the additional protection, especially during harsh weather conditions.
3. Keep it Clean
Regularly clean bird feeders and bird baths to prevent the spread of diseases. Empty and refill feeders with fresh bird feed to maintain the health and well-being of visiting birds.
4. Offer a Constant Water Source
Ensure a constant supply of clean, fresh water in your bird baths. Birds will be attracted to the sound of moving water, so consider adding a small fountain or dripper to your bird bath.
5. Plant Native Trees and Flowers
Create a natural habitat for birds by planting native trees, shrubs, and flowers. Native plants provide food sources, nesting materials, and shelter for local bird species.
6. Provide Year-Round Food
Keep bird feeders stocked throughout the year to support resident and migrating birds. Different bird species have different feeding habits and preferences, so offering a variety of food options ensures a thriving bird population in your garden.
By following these tips and providing high-quality bird feed and supplies from Allen Sterling & Lothrop, you can transform your garden into a haven for wild birds. Enjoy the beauty and wonder of nature right in your own backyard!
