Lots of owners can have trouble attracting birds to their yard, and most often the reason is the birds feel threatened in the space. While it’s important to have all the amenities a bird could want like birdhouses, bird feeders, and bird fountains or baths, it’s even more important that the area feels safe. This means that owners who want birds in their yard should avoid placing their birdfeeders and birdbaths in an open area with a view of the sky. Predator birds spot smaller birds while soaring higher up, so it’s a good idea to provide the smaller birds some cover. It’s best to have a birdfeeder or birdbath next to a tree, or small shrub where the birds could retreat if needed. With birdbaths, it’s also important that the water is moving, as birds are attracted to moving water. This makes bird fountains a great option.
When placing birdhouses, try to nestle them underneath the boughs of trees and also in high places where animals like cats and dogs can’t reach. Take these steps, and in no time at all the yard will be bustling with chirps and cheeps!
