Bird Friendly Plants
The best bird gardens have plenty of variety - changes of level, little
cliffs, hills, valleys and stone walls. An over neat and tidy garden is
not very good for birds, so now you have the perfect excuse! Berry bearing
trees and shrubs are also important to supplement your daily delivery of
nuts and seeds to the birdtable. |
