Feeding Houses And Birdbaths In Your Garden: Making Your Feathered Friends Feel at Home
Have you ever wondered how to bring more life and joy to your garden? One of the best ways to do so is by setting up feeding houses and birdbaths for your feathered friends. Not only will this attract beautiful birds to your outdoor space, but it will also create a pleasant environment for them to thrive. In this article, we will explore the importance of feeding houses and birdbaths in your garden and how you can make your feathered friends feel welcome.
The Benefits of Feeding Houses
Feeding houses serve as a reliable food source for birds, especially during colder months when natural supplies may be scarce. By providing a variety of bird feeders, you can attract different species and enjoy the sight of them devouring seeds, fruits, and insects. The colors and melodies of these winged creatures will undoubtedly add beauty and tranquility to your garden.
Additionally, feeding houses can help sustain bird populations and support their survival. By consistently offering nutritious food, you are aiding their overall health and well-being. Your garden will become a sanctuary for birds, and they will be encouraged to return to your yard regularly.

The Role of Birdbaths
While feeding houses focus on sustenance, birdbaths provide a vital water source for birds. Maintaining proper hydration is crucial for the well-being and vitality of these creatures. By installing a birdbath in your garden, birds will have access to fresh water for drinking, bathing, and preening their feathers. This encourages them to stay and establish a regular presence in your outdoor space.
Moreover, birdbaths contribute to the overall ecosystem of your garden. Birds often use these water sources to cool off during hot summer days or to escape from potential predators. Observing their playful splashes and taking care of their personal hygiene will leave you in awe of nature's wonders.
Making your Feathered Friends Feel at Home
Creating a welcoming environment for birds goes beyond the physical structures in your garden. Paying attention to the small details will ensure they feel safe and comfortable in your outdoor space.
Firstly, it's essential to select the right location for your feeding houses and birdbaths. Place them away from windows and glass surfaces to prevent accidental bird collisions. Additionally, positioning them near shrubs, trees, or other vegetation provides birds with shelter and natural hiding spots.
Furthermore, keeping your garden clean and well-maintained is crucial. Regularly clean the feeding houses and birdbaths to prevent the spread of diseases and ensure optimum hygiene. Regularly refill the food and water, especially during dry spells or winter months when resources are scarce.
Consider planting bird-friendly vegetation such as native flowers, shrubs, or fruit-bearing trees. This will provide additional food sources for birds and attract a wider range of species to your garden. Providing a diverse habitat will result in a more vibrant and interesting bird population.
Feeding houses and birdbaths in your garden create a perfect haven for birds, bringing life and beauty to your outdoor space. By providing them with a consistent food supply and fresh water, you not only contribute to their well-being but also foster a deeper connection to nature within yourself. Implementing these simple additions will undoubtedly make your feathered friends feel at home, and you will be rewarded with stunning sights and melodious songs that enrich your garden and soul.

When I was a child I remember reading a bird book about a little boy named Robin who was recuperating in the home of his uncle. He had absolutely no interest in life because he had just recovered from an accident which left him immobile. His uncle who was a very sensible sort of adult decided that his nephew could only get an interest in life if he began to make friends with his feathered friends outside his window and that could only be done when he made a feeding house for the birds on the windowsill outside Robin's bedroom.
The feeding house in the winter and the birdbath in the summer – can you imagine something giving more pleasure and adding a sense of activity to an otherwise quiet scene? The moment we are going to set up our feeding house, where we can best observe the birds flying to and from it, especially during the winter, from our bedroom or from our living room window, naturally we know that here is something which is going to give us endless hours of pleasure, especially on those long dreary winter days when we are cabin bound.
In the same manner, we are going to place the birdbath in the best site and position where we can see it best from our summer seat out in the open, under our favorite trees. Believe it or not, but the really social, even though we think plenty of them are scared or shy of humans. The moment they get to know that this particular human is rather safe to be around, they are going to come closer to us, provided we are careful not to scare them. This includes making abrupt movements or making any sort of noise while they are eating.
