Tips for Attracting Backyard Birds Offer food year-round. Different species will visit your feeders each season, and you will be able to observe the growth of fledglings as they mature into young adults.Vary the styles of feeders in your backyard. Include a platform style feeder for ground feeding birds, a hanging feeder for perching birds and a suet feeder for the birds that favor insects.Choose high quality seed, suet and treats. Black Oil Sunflower is the top choice seed and readily eaten by the widest variety of birds, and it is the favorite food of many. Avoid seed blends with milo, wheat, oats and rice-these are inexpensive fillers that few birds actually eat.Water! Essential for bathing and drinking, water is key in any backyard bird habitat. Add a bird bath or other water feature. Birds are drawn to the sound of moving water, and a fresh, unfrozen water source can be critical during deep freezes when it can be scarce.Plant native fruit bearing trees and shrubs. These provide a natural food source and shelter!
