Bring Nature Up Close By Putting Bird Feeders In Your Yard

Do you know anyone that doesn’t like birds? Have you been looking out over your yard and wondering what’s missing and why all the birds flock to your neighbor’s house. You need binoculars to see them, but your neighbor can see them from his veranda. Did you ever check out his yard to find out why? I bet you thought it was the plants he’s growing that attracts those birds, but did it ever occur to you that he may be bribing them into his yard with say, a bird feeder?

You didn’t think of that, did you? Well, two can play at that game and imagine how great it will be if you install a bird feeder too. You may attract even more birds depending on the feeder you get, because all birds are not alike and all birds don’t eat the same thing. Evergreen has a line of bird feeders that will fit any yard and may even match the colors of your blooms so it isn’t sticking out like a sore thumb.

Evergreen designs both traditional birdhouses as well as fancy metal and glass bird feeders that will enhance any garden, even a fully landscaped one. They have little wooden houses, the traditional feeder and they make easy to refill feeders in a variety of designs that have wire mesh to hold the feed and colorful and cleverly designed glass to “hide” the feeder from guests but not from birds.

Take the ladybug feeder which has glass sections that make it look like a ladybug and is designed to hang in a protected area. This feeder holds seed as does the sunflower patterned feeder. You can even get one that looks like an acorn, a very pretty acorn but an acorn nonetheless.

What you may not know is that if you feed game birds you increase the rest of your bird population. So how do you do that? Well, you get an All Seasons quail feeder. It sits on the ground and can hold approximately 150lbs. of feed. The feeder rests on the ground, but it is designed to resist your larger varmints who may also want a nibble at their feed.

The best thing about bird feeders is that once the birds discover you, they will come back. Birds know where to go to eat and somehow other birds find out, perhaps it’s a word-of-beak thing, but it happens. Wouldn’t it be great to sit on the veranda with your kids or grandkids and point out the different birds as they come to feast? Kids love to learn and bird feeders can provide a great learning experience.
