Then there was another and another, until you had a chorus of wonderful music outside. Gardens can be designed and grown for the enjoyment of local wildlife as well as your own enjoyment. A backyard wildlife sanctuary can attract a continuous variety of birds throughout the seasons. Birds and butterflies are the most popular all wildlife to attract. They are also quite easy to attract, if you provide their food, water, cover, and shelter.

I have a whole bird farm going on in my back yard and would like to know if I need to put oranges away from the other feeders, or does that matter.
Thanks

My wife really would love to have bluebirds in our backyard but I am not sure what to change to attract them. I would put up some houses or nesting boxes but am unsure exactly what kind is best. Any tips for me?
