Birds Like Variety When Eating
If you like birds, blend plants
attractive to them into the home
landscape. Consider tall trees
with thick crowns all the way
down to the low seed-heads in
flowerbeds and lawns. And don’t
forget to place the plants where
you can see them from a win
dow, patio or terrace so you can
enjoy the birds they attract, say
extension specialists at The
'Pennsylvania State University.
