1.         1. Put Out The Welcome Mat:
    Enhance your backyard by landscaping with native plants
    and providing feeders, natural food sources, water, shelter
    and nesting sites.

2. Prepare A Proper Menu:
    Refill feeders regularly with foods suited to the birds in your
    area and the season.

3. Keep It Clean:
    Clean feeders and baths as well as feeding areas regularly.

4. Eliminate The Eliminators:
    Keep cats indoors. A 1997 study by the American Birding
    Association showed that cats were a significant source of
    mortality among birds that come to feeders.

      5.  Keep It Safe:
    Avoid using pesticides, herbicides or other dangerous
    chemicals where birds feed, bathe, or nest.

6. Remove Obstacles:
    Reduce window collisions. Keep feeders at lest 3 feet from
    windows and add decorations to windows where collisions
    occur.
