Creating a Bird Sanctuary: Tips for a Winter Garden

Choose native plants that provide food and shelter for birds. Consider evergreens for year-round cover and berries for winter sustenance.

Install bird feeders and bird baths to attract a variety of bird species. Keep feeders stocked with seeds, suet, and nectar.

Create a diverse habitat with trees, shrubs, grasses, and flowers to attract different types of birds. Include nesting boxes for cavity-nesting species.

Provide water sources like ponds or shallow dishes for drinking and bathing. Keep water unfrozen in winter with a heater or by regularly changing it.

Avoid pesticide use in your garden to protect birds from harmful chemicals. Instead, opt for natural pest control methods to maintain a healthy ecosystem.

Maintain your bird sanctuary by keeping feeders clean, refreshing water sources, and monitoring bird activity. Enjoy the beauty and serenity of a garden filled with birdsong.
