Attracting Birds To Your Yard
|
|
|
|
|
|
A backyard habitat which includes evergreens for shelter and berry-producing plants for food is an excellent beginning for attracting birds. However, nothing is quite effective as providing bird feeders and food around your backyard, especially in fall, winter and early spring.
Different birds eat different things, so it helps to provide a variety of food choices.

- Black Oil Sunflower: Is meatier and higher in oil content than striped sunflower seed. It also has a thinner shell making it easier for birds to crack open.
Favorite of American Goldfinch, Cardinals, Chickadees, House Finches, Blue Jays, Sparrows, Titmice, Towhees, and Mourning Doves
- Nyjer: High oil content makes this an excellent energy source for active birds.
Favorite of American Goldfinch, Dark-Eyed Junco, House Finches, and Mourning Doves
