Attracting Birds to Your Garden

This highly informative and popular title deserves a relook. First published in 1997 the information and beautiful colour photographs have not dated in any way.

Essential details such as suggested grasses, shrubs and trees to include in your plan of a bird-friendly garden provide great ideas for the lawn, entertainment, driveway, water feature and canopy habitat areas of your garden.

A garden of various vegetation levels and densities attracts a diversity of insect and bird life and the opportunity to provide artificial nest sites—the chapter Providing a Nesting Garden provides great advice on this subject.
