In this 2nd of 6 videos, Em Bowman explores how to create a bird-friendly habitat garden by incorporating layers of plants and essential features like trees, shrubs, ground covers, rocks, and water sources. Learn how to provide food, water, and shelter for a variety of bird species. Remember to use indigenous plants, a diversity of vegetation densities, and ensuring seasonal food availability to attract and sustain different birds.
