How to Attract Birds to Your Backyard  If you are a friend of
feathered visitors, love the diversity of the specimens found in
your area, the palette of colors they display and love listening
to their melodic sounds, there’s some good news: You have many
ways to lure specific fowl into your garden and make them feel
at home. Besides setting up bird feeders with the appropriate
food and offering water, you can influence their arrival in
other ways.  How to Attract Birds to Your Backyard  First, you
want to make sure the area you are targeting for the birds is
low-traffic so they aren’t constantly disturbed. This means no
opening/closing doors and not a lot of walking by. Start by
determining what breed of bird you are looking to attract. Each
one has its preferences and knowing what they are can help you
conclude how to make it more interesting for them to visit you.
