Planting Natives for the Birds
from National Audubon
This article will be especially relevant to cold climate areas. In warmer climates fall is often the ideal planting time so the winter rains help establish the new plants.
| Birds and native plants are made for each other, thanks to millions of years of evolution. Trees, flowers, shrubs, and grasses can serve as shelter, nesting material, and veritable buffets for birds.
Learning which plants are best suited to your region, can help make your yard, balcony, or patio even more bird friendly. With a little work and planning, you could be rewarded with an iridescent Ruby-throated Hummingbird or a seasonal migrant like this Blackpoll Warbler.
Whether you’re looking to increase your awareness outdoors or attract more birds to your home, let this primer be your guide. |
