Making Your Yard a Bird Haven

Learn how to be a hero to wild birds by landscaping your yard, patio, or community space in a way that offers resources for both migratory and residential birds. Your outdoor space will be just as beautiful, if not more so, than a traditional lawn or yard. In this presentation, you’ll discover what birds need to thrive, how to provide those resources to attract them, and how to keep those birds safe.
