Could birds be the missing element in your backyard?
Featured ·
In recent years, bird populations have experienced a significant drop of up to 25%.
According to research conducted by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, this decline can be attributed to various factors such as habitat loss, climate change, and the use of pesticides. However, as Nature lovers, we can do our part to help by attracting birds to feed in our gardens. At Native Gardeners, we believe that native plants are the way to go because they provide food and shelter for birds. Here are some tips on how to attract birds to your garden.
