Bird Plants
|
| Attracting birds to your
garden not only provides endless amusement but they will feed
on unwanted garden predators such as slugs, snails, leatherjackets
and aphids. Any plant with dense foliage will attract birds to
the garden as it will offer safe cover for roosting, nesting and
feeding nearby. However, the following plants produce berries
or seeds and are thus a good source of food. |
