In order for birds to stay for more than a day and to
protect them from bad weather and predators, you can
have a birdhouse in the garden. If you want to make it
look more natural, an artificial tree can also be
installed for them.
There are four seasons in a year. If you want birds to
be present all year round, you should check what kind of
plants can survive even during the winter.
A good example is a conifer that is either in the form
of a shrub or tree. These also serve as good nesting
places during the summer. Some types of conifers
provide buds, seeds and sap. Since not all plants work
well with certain types of soil, you should also check
with a gardener before choosing what plants to buy.
After you have an idea what changes need to be made in
the garden, you can draw up a plan. Some things to be
considered are the city’s gardening codes, the location
of the sun is at different times of the day and
structures in the neighbor’s yard.
Landscaping the garden for the benefit of birds is a
challenging task. It will take time to finish,
especially if you have started out with seedlings. Take
pictures to see the changes through the months.
Family members can help during the construction and
maintenance phases of this project. Once you have
finished you can enjoy bird watching from the comfort of
your own home.
