Birdscaping Your Garden

Growing native plants means to provide native food and shelter to attract certain species of the geographical zone within someone is living. How to get from landscape to birdscape? Then ask more questions?

• Are these plants for birds to hide? Songbirds need protective cover from potential enemies, such as cats, snakes, and hawks
• Are these places for birds to nest? Birds would come during the breeding season, if there are inviting places to nest, such as trees, shrubs, hedges, brambles
• Are these shelters areas protect them from enemies and weather conditions? Evergreens against the walls and fences will protect will them from cold, wind, and rain
• Is there food and water? Natural food sources are coming from flower nectar, grass seed-heads, fruits, berries, diversity of plants that attract insects. Plus, to provide an access to a small pool, pound or puddle will accommodate the needs of thirsty birds

Little Wild Flower

 

'Little Wild Flower' - Photographer: Ida Tomshinsky

 

Everybody knows the life starts from seeds.

It took more then few months

to develop the climbing wine

that took over the fence.

The thick green leaves created this mini oasis -

the home for lizards and green iguanas.

The green leaves are comfortably

taking the sun bath, stretching, and growing

by overcoming few optical on their own: 

the drastic fall of temperature, cold winds,

 and the neighbor's  lawn machine.

And finally, the award -

the little wild flower.
