Make Your Yard Irresistable to Birds
While feeders can be an important supplement to a wild bird’s diet, they are still the avian equivalent of fast food – rich in macronutrients, but not ultimately a source of every bit of nutrition a bird needs to survive and thrive. You can make your property more attractive to birds and other wildlife by establishing plants that provide complete nutrition year round.
I’ve combed through the lists, guides, and other publications covering the native plants of East Tennessee to select those which are the most attractive to our local bird community. The timespans given are not necessarily for individual plants; rather, they represent the period over which members of that species can be found to bear fruit or nectar.
Are you looking for a way to incorporate any of these, or other native plants, into your landscape? Message me and I’ll be happy to weigh in!
