Green Living Tipโœ”๏ธ

๐Ÿฆ Backyard Bird Feeding: Attracting and Supporting Florida's Diverse Avian Residents

Create a safe and welcoming environment for Floridaโ€™s birds by offering food, water, and natural shelter right in your backyard.

Florida is home to a wide variety of resident and migratory bird species.

By choosing the right feeders, planting native vegetation, and keeping your yard bird-friendly, you can support local wildlife while enjoying the beauty and activity of birds visiting your outdoor space.

๐ŸŒพ Offer a Variety of Feeders

  • Use seed, suet, nectar, and platform feeders to attract different bird species.
  • Fill feeders with black oil sunflower, nyjer seed, millet, and peanuts.
  • Clean feeders regularly to prevent mold and diseases.

๐Ÿ’ง Provide Fresh Water

  • Place a shallow birdbath or dish where birds can safely drink and bathe.
  • Change water daily and clean the bowl to prevent algae growth.
  • Add a dripper or small fountain to attract more species with moving water.

๐ŸŒฟ Use Native Plants for Food & Shelter

  • Plant native shrubs, wildflowers, and trees that produce berries, seeds, and nectar.
  • Create natural shelter using dense shrubs or brush piles.
  • Provide nesting boxes appropriate for species in your area.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Keep Birds Safe

  • Place feeders away from windows to reduce collision risks.
  • Keep cats and pets indoors or away from feeding zones.
  • Clear old seed hulls and debris to maintain a healthy environment.

๐ŸŒŽ Tip: Rotate food types throughout the year to support seasonal migrants and wintering birds.

A well-designed bird-friendly yard helps local ecosystems and brings daily enjoyment.
