How to support Bird life in your Garden

There are many things you can do to support bird life in your garden. Here are a few tips:

Plant native plants. Native plants are adapted to your local climate and conditions, and they provide food, shelter, and nesting sites for birds.
Provide water. Birds need water to drink and bathe. You can provide a birdbath or shallow dish of water in your garden.
Leave some dead wood. Deadwood

provides a home for insects, which are a food source for birds.

Don't use pesticides. Pesticides can harm birds, so it is best to use organic methods of pest control.
Avoid trimming back shrubs and trees too much. Birds use shrubs and trees for nesting, so it is best to leave some branches untrimmed.
Put up birdhouses. Birdhouses provide a safe place for birds to nest.
Make your garden bird-friendly. Consider the following when designing your garden:
