Interesting BUT if you want to our increasingly threatened native birds,
garden as much as possible with the native plants that these species rely
upon for food, nesting, shelter. Gardening with our native plants allow
you to provide not just for nesting and wintering birds but also migrating
ones.

They also help retain our declining insects that birds and many other
animals rely upon.

We must do this for our native birds or risk losing them.
