💦 Did you know water is the #1 way to attract the greatest variety of birds to your backyard?
Many birds are even more drawn to a fresh water source than to food—it gives them a place to drink and keep their feathers clean. 🐦✨

Adding a reliable source like a bird bath, shallow dish, or small pool will keep your backyard full of feathered friends.

🌿 Find beautiful bird baths (and everything you need to keep them full) right here at Backyard Birds & Gardens.

🐦✨ Did you know migrating songbirds can travel hundreds — even thousands — of miles twice a year? ✨🐦

These incredible journeys require a huge amount of energy. Birds rely on high-fat, high-calorie foods to fuel their long flights, often doubling their body weight before they go.

You can help by keeping your feeders stocked with nutritious foods like black oil sunflower seeds, peanuts, suet, and mealworms. A well-placed feeder can make your backyard a much-needed pit stop for tired travelers. 🌎💚

Stop by Backyard Birds & Gardens for all the essentials to keep your feeders full and your backyard buzzing with feathered friends.
