Spring is quickly approaching and if you love to feed the birds, now is a great time to prepare yourself for their upcoming arrival. The best way to attract birds to your yard for the rest of the spring and summer is to start the season off by offering a habitat in your yard that is ideal for birds. To keep the birds nearby throughout the spring and summer, it is a good idea to place the following items in your yard:
- Bird Feeders: The surest way of getting to watch the birds in your area is to place bird feeders in your yard. Keep a couple of bird feeders filled at all times and you are sure to see lots of birds. Don’t forget to place a hummingbird feeder in your yard too. These delightful, little birds are very interesting to watch and fun to capture on film.
- Bird Seed: This is essential for your bird feeder and helps you to attract a variety of birds or a specific type of bird. Choose a bird seed that is a mixed variety to fill your bird feeders if you are a beginning and you will be sure to see a great number of birds in your yard. A nut and berry blend, like the Kaytee Nut and Berry Blend Bird Seed, is so tasty that you will have several birds visiting numerous times throughout the day!
- Bird Bath: if you don’t have a fresh supply of water nearby, a bird bath will help to keep the birds in your yard. Not only do the birds like to drink from a bird bath, but they also like to bathe in the bath.
- Bird House: make sure to place some bird houses in your yard to offer the birds some shelter. The type of shelter you choose will depend on the type of bird that you would like to attract. The Ware Nest Boxes for Birds – Reverse and Regular are great for attracting a variety of birds.
