With a 29 percent decline in wild birds in North America since 1970, our gardens have never been more important for our feathered friends. Learn how to create an ecologically robust bird garden using bird-friendly native plants that provide the different habitats and numerous natural food sources that wild birds need. Discover how bird species vary in their requirements for shelter, nesting sites, and food at different times of year. Make sure that wild birds find what they need in your garden over winter, spring, summer, and fall, by transitioning your garden into a welcoming and supportive landscape.
