Summer is over and the days are growing shorter! The birds are looking for a place to live. If you want to encourage them to your backyard, you’ll need to start now. If you wait until the cold weather is here, they will probably never know what you have to offer.
Remember the bushes and trees you planted this spring? The ones that have all the berries on them. And those sunflowers (don’t cut them down and discard them), they are full of seeds! The birds will have a feast with all the seeds and berries and the well fed insects that they can find.
Black oil sunflower, white millet, niger, safflower, cracked corn, broken nuts and chopped up fruits. Offer suet in hanging baskets. What do you have to offer?
I am particularly fond of Blue Birds and Cardinals, so we have plenty of blue bird houses on our property.
