Excerpt from For The Birds Joanne Quaglia
3 Learning the food habits of the birds you want to attract is important. Many types of trees, shrubs, and plants produce fruits,
berries, acorns, and nuts that serve as food sources for birds. Before planting anything, the first thing you should do is talk to an
expert at your local garden center to find out which trees, shrubs, and wildflowers are native to your area. This will ensure that
anything you plant will adapt well to the climate and will grow nicely to meet birds' needs.
