Bird-friendly landscapes provide food, water and shelter throughout the year.
Grow food instead of only hanging feeders
Native shrubs and trees can produce berries, seeds, nectar and—critically—insects that many birds depend on.
Build layers
Combine trees, large shrubs, smaller shrubs, perennials and ground-layer habitat. Dense vegetation can provide cover and nesting opportunities.
Add water safely
A clean, shallow water source can increase habitat value.
