Wire Bird

Some people enjoy bird watching but prefer to do their bird watching in your backyard. Below is some tips to attract wild birds to your backyard.

Firstly it depends on that wild birds in the general area where her house and then you can attract and then to your backyard.

The method used to attract birds depend on what is the diet of birds. If the bird feeds on nectar for example, warblers and hummingbirds, and then large flowering plants attract. Hummingbird bills are perfectly adapted to the different types of flowers to feed on, so that different types of flowers which attract different hummingbirds. Some hummingbirds have especially curved or elongated bills that allow them to feed on special flowers, for example, the target of Sicklebill tip hummingbird whose downward curve bill to extract nectar from Heliconia. The Ruby-Topaz Hummingbird has a short and slightly decurved bill adapting to food in the flowers of Ixora bush. The Blue-tailed Emerald has a short bill that is suitable for feeding on hibiscus flower. The copper-rumped Hummingbird has a straight long bill that allows mid-size feed tube shaped flowers such as allamanda. Hummingbirds have little or no sense of smell, the color is so important to the process of searching for a hummingbird to the location of flowers containing nectar. While visiting a flower has sufficient nectar they prefer flowers that are red to orange. It is believed that color preference is due to the fact that the prominent red flowers on a green background and so are more easily seen by the hummingbird. It is also believed that because hummingbirds compete with insects for nectar in the flowers they choose are less likely to be visited by insects. Most insects do not look good at the red end of the color spectrum and therefore can not visit red flowers while hummingbirds see the full visible spectrum.

If your garden space is very limited, which prevents you from having large flowering shrubs, an area to consider is the area between the sidewalk of his property line and road. You can plant small flowering shrubs such as miniature Ixora, which then attract birds that feed on nectar to your property.

For birds that feed on fruit, the presence of ripe fruit will attract and so having fruit trees that attract birds. Most fruit trees without But only once a year for a few months, so the attraction is not all year. If your garden has enough space then several trees bearing fruit at different times of the year will ensure a continuous presence of birds. A tree that bears fruit, for a very extended period is the guava and what can attract birds for most of the year. Trees are also an attraction for birds because they provide nesting sites and resting. If you have the palm trees people plant in their houses usually attract Palm Tanagers, which feed on small fruits, material use of trees to build their nests and may also nest in the tree.

When a large number of shrubs and / or fruit trees is not an option, you can consider buying a feeder for birds. The kind of food also depends on the type of birds in the area and type of birds that want to attract. To feed on nectar using a solution sugar (usually has a feeder directions). You must place the feeder in a place where birds are seen and the solution must be changed regularly (2 -3 days). Red foods are good for attracting hummingbirds because they have a preference for red flowers. If you use a feeder that will take several days for the birds to recognize that is present in your yard.

Another feed can attract other types of birds. Bare-Eyed Kiskadees thrushes and are somewhat omnivorous and so you can use rice (uncooked). I found that they too will be attracted by dog food. Tropical Mockingbirds can also be reached with rice. Furthermore, the ripe fruit such bananas, mangoes and cherries can be used and usually attract blue-gray Tanagers, Palm Tanagers and Yellow Orioles.

As an alternative to buying feeder can build a feeder. For fruits that you can build a chicken simple wire or bamboo basket to keep the fruit together and attach to the fence. Another low-cost power can be built using a plastic container with a narrow border. To construct this feeder you drill three holes, equidistant around the bowl. Then connect the strands of wire through each hole the threads that come together at the top to form a hook or loop for suspension of the cup. Three chapters are required to provide stability to the cup in particular when birds perch on the bowl to feed. It is necessary to make holes in the base of several of the cup to allow rain water or liquid drain the bowl.

The attraction of birds, besides the visual delights also offers the advantage of controlling the insect population, as many birds feed on insects.
