Attraction -
A trellis and seated arbor have been constructed to make a partially hidden spot for children to sit while observing the bird activity in the garden. A copper drip birdbath donated to the garden provides the sound of moving water, a natural attraction for birds.

Do you know how to attract birds to your backyard?
The recent interest in attracting birds to our yards is evident by the increasing popularity of bird feeding, but there are other ways to encourage birds to nest in your yard. Landscaping that supports the birds you want to attract is a great way to start. Your landscape plan should cover four basic needs:

• food
• water
• shelter
• space

When selecting trees, shrubs, vines or plants it is helpful to know those species that the birds prefer.
