The Big Idea

Water

Step one: Water. Provide fresh water in a shallow birdbath, and change it often. Birds need water for drinking and bathing.

Food and Homes

Step two: Food and Homes. Plant native shrubs and trees with berries and seeds, and leave some seed heads standing in autumn. Put up nest boxes for families.

Safety

Step three: Safety. Keep cats indoors so birds are safe, and add stickers on windows to prevent crashes. If you use a feeder, clean it often, and a mix of plants gives food and hiding places.
