Bird-friendly Gardens

Bird-friendly habitat includes sources of water, leaf litter, brush piles and snags where possible.  Nesting boxes and feeders are also helpful to birds. Native plants provide the food birds need to survive and raise their young in ways the non-native plants cannot.  Click here to learn about how to create a bird-friendly garden.
