No garden ornament or accessories can lighten up home garden as the presence of birds and butterflies do. Everyone loves to have birds visiting their home . A bird friendly home garden is easy attractionwhich also adds mental comfort to the space. Here are some of the best ways to welcome birds to your home garden :
- Provide water source
Go with the basics. Provide a water source to the tiny creature. You can buy a little earthen pot or have a little pond , a bird bath basin or experiment with waterproof container and diys that are easy and comfortable to access. Don't forget to clean them thoroughly and regularly. - provide food source
Well placed feeders make a step forward from bird sighting to bird ensemble. Source them with quality bird food in your garden. Provide variety of foods including seeds , nuts or rice etc which attracts your local birds. If you are a pet parent, remember to place your container at a height which is unreachable to your dogs or cats.
- Bring colours to your garden
Focus on small attractions which provide the little creature a comfortable and pleasant environment. Plant bird friendly plants, add multilayered flower beds , include the green spaces, use shades. - Make them feel like home
Create a safe and comfortable place for your visiting birds and butterflies. Reduce the danger alert which can be rise by your pets or neighbourhood animals roaming around. Avoid using sharp garden nets or mirrors and any other sharp decorative items in the garden to avoid any risk of birds getting hurt.
- Provide nesting space
Let your bird friendly habitat offer the birds to build their own home within your space. A self built shelter would make them feel more homey and more likely to stay nearby, offering more observation opportunities.
