If you enjoy bird watching but don’t have the time to venture out into the wilderness, attracting birds to your yard can be an easy way to appreciate winged wildlife at home. To get started, birdfeeders are the best way to attract wildlife. If birds have a reliable source of food, they will make nests near or even in your yard. Birdhouses can also encourage birds to live in your yard, but will often be taken over by bees or other nuisances. Birdbaths are great for viewing small birds at play, but should be placed in a semi-sheltered area (such as beneath a tree) to avoid notice of predators. For the winter months, you could even pamper your avian friends with heated bird baths.
Keep in mind that small birds will avoid locations that have nearby predators such as coyotes, hawks, or falcons.
