“Bird watching has been around for centuries, but with the advent of the internet and access to such a wealth of information, it’s becoming more and more interesting and even easy to become a great bird watcher. And think of the excitement of catching glimpses of rare birds that your mothers and fore fathers only dreamed of being able to see and correctly identify. The more you get into it, the more complicated and exciting and rewarding it becomes. Soon the sound of a distant bird will elicit great excitement and you will be able to join bird watching groups and impress your other bird watching friends with tales of watching birds. If you have a back yard, there are things you can do to attract birds. It’s not cheating, it’s part of the fun.
Bird Feeders
Clearly you’re going to want some bird feeders. Do some research into what kind of birds are native to the place you live, and then find the food that will best attract them. It’s fun to get humming bird bird feeders, and you can get the liquid that goes in them from Home Depot for cheap. But hummingbirds, while a great bird, come around on their own. You’ll want to get many different styles of feeders so birds that may not be otherwise inclined to visit your yard will want to stop by for a snack. Put them around you yard, but in a place that’s visible from your kitchen window so you can watch them whilst enjoying your morning coffee.
Hoist Up the Attractions
If you have some trees in your back yard, you can definitely put some things up in the trees to attract more birds. You might want to get an extension ladder from a place like thediyoutlet.com in order to properly get up there and be as safe as possible. The last thing you want is to fall from great heights to a near death just because of your obsession with birds. Feeders hoisted up into the trees will work wonders. The more difficult to find birds will be impressed with your bird know how, even if just with their bird brains. They’re not going to post on social media, that’s for you to do. At http://thediyoutlet.com there are a lot of things for sale that will help your bird watching game.
Bird Baths
You don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to let your new bird friends come and have a drink of water and a splash about, so get some bird baths. You can even become a bird bath collector and get them from old vintage stores and places like that. Might as well go all in with your newfound bird love and become the neighborhood bird person with a lawn full of bird baths of all kinds. You’ll soon be obsessing over bird baths everywhere you go and lose friends left and right, but make new friends, too!”
