Gardening and the Birds

As the summer heats up, be sure to water your plants more. They need more water with the hot summer days.

If you are wanting to attract the birds be sure not to clip off dead blooms from your flowering plants, this allows the birds food and seed they need for nutrition, and it will save you on your bird food bill. Your garden may not look as neat as you would like but the birds will love you for it.

Also remember to clean and change your birdbath water daily, as the heat will make the water too hot and bacteria will grow more.

Keeping your lawn and garden bird friendly will not only keep the birds coming back, but keep your yard a place for you to relax an enjoy.
