Learn the three variables that will draw many different birds to your garden bird feeder. The way to create a bird-friendly locale in your yard is to provide wild birds shelter, food and water.

Locate the garden bird feeder close to trees, shrubs and bushes. Birds want a safe landing place to shield them from their predators. They will use the trees and shrubs in this area to offer a sheltered area for nesting. The trees and shrubs will also provide the necessary goods for constructing the nests.

The second thing to add for the birds that you would like to bring to your garden bird feeder is food. You should plant fruit, berry or seed bearing trees and brush. Flowering plants in the area will furnish a sweet treat and seeds for the birds.

Water is the third needed component that you should give to the birds. A bird bath fountain or bird bath is a good water source in your garden bird feeder area.

The many colorful birds that you will identify at your garden bird feeder will provide you with countless hours of enjoyment.
