How To Use Tips
Garden accents also include Bird Feeders. Creating a wildlife habitat in your garden can be rewarding. Bird feeding ranks right behind gardening as one of the most popular hobbies. There are many types and styles of feeders to satisfy a variety of birds.
Creating a backyard habitat for birds is an enjoyable and easy process. Choosing the right feeder for the types of birds in your area can be fun. You'll find feeders in every style and function, including squirrel-proof bird feeders, decorative feeders, and hummingbird feeders.
Not all birds will eat seed. Some eat insects and others, like hummingbirds and orioles, prefer nectar. Offering a variety of feed will help attract a variety of birds. If you are only going to use one type of feed, its a good idea to offer a quality mixed seed. Some inferior mixes contain a lot of cheap fillers that birds do not eat. The birds will simply kick this seed out of the feeder and make a mess on the ground below. If you want to avoid a lot of mess below your feeders, look for feed that contains only the meats of seeds.
Offer as many feeding stations as your yard can hold. Space your feeders approximately 30 feet apart at different elevations. Multiple feeders deter aggressive birds from dominating the stations. If possible, place your feeders within easy view from your windows so you can enjoy and monitor the birds. Make sure your birdfeeders are within short flying distance of cover and perches. Birds need to be able to fly to some place safe if a predator appears.
Finally, make sure you frequently clean your feeders so seed or nectar will not mold or mildew. Thoroughly wash them with soap and warm water. Sterilize with a solution of 1 part bleach and 4 parts water. Rinse them completely and let dry. Keeping your feeders clean is an important step in ensuring that your backyard birds are healthy and free from disease.
Attracting birds to your backyard is immensely rewarding. As seasons change, you will see changes in the birds and their behavior. Creating a backyard habitat is not only an environmentally friendly way to share your living space with natural wildlife; it also creates a soothing, restful oasis that can help you enjoy your world more fully.
