Create a Garden That Gives Your Favorite Fliers Plenty of Natural Places to Hide.
B eyond the flurry of activity at the backyard feeder, there’s a never-ending performance happening throughout your bird-friendly garden. It’s the way birds position themselves within your space when they’re not at the feeder, rapidly moving from limb to branch, ground to tree, and back again. These behaviors, a way to ensure survival, offer hours of fascinating observation.
A bird’s sole life purpose is to produce offspring, so all of its movements are driven by natural instincts to find food, water, shelter, protection and safe nesting sites. Backyard habitats offering a variety and quantity of shrubbery, trees and structures provide those life essentials.
Hiding places
The most bird-friendly landscapes have plants at every level, from the ground to the treetops, to give birds plenty of places to hide from predators. Use trees, shrubs, vines and ground covers that thrive in different seasons.
