Natural Gardening for Birds: Simple Ways to Create a Bird-Friendly Habitat | Rodale Organic Gardening Book | Attract Wild Birds to Your Backyard Garden

This helpful guide to attracting birds to your garden year round--even when nothing is in bloom--is not only full of useful information, it's interesting to read. You'll learn a lot about birds, how the natural world works, and what things you can do to help birds, butterflies, and other wildlife thrive near your house. Looking at your yard from a bird's point of view may change your landscaping priories--to some extent, messy is good for instance. There are charts of plants that work for each area of the country, with an emphasis on native flora because often that is best for wildlife, but the book isn't solely about plants. Water, shelter and feeder needs are all covered so you can turn your yard into as much of a bird haven as you would like.The author has several other bird related books,including my favorite, The Bluebird Effect: Uncommon Bonds With Common Birds, which is about her own relationships and encounters with individual birds.
