Some colorful birds that are big insect eaters:
Orioles eat grasshoppers, beetles and caterpillars.
Cardinals enjoy stinkbugs, leaf hoppers and beetles.
Bluebirds like moths, grasshoppers and crickets.
Creating a bird friendly landscape is easier than you might think. Birds need water, cover and food.
Water: Birds need water to drink and to bathe. Consider adding a birdbath or fountain to your garden retreat. A water feature will no only attract your feather friends, but also give you an excellent opportunity to add a unique sculptural feature.
Cover: Birds need cover for protection and to nest. Shrubs and small trees provide natural cover and a strategically placed birdhouse can provide the perfect home for your birds to raise their families.
Food: Even insect loving birds enjoy a bit of variety. Plants with fruits or berries will help keep your favorites returning year after year. A bird feeder filled with the right seeds can also help.
Attracting birds to your garden or yard is one way to help stop many garden pests from bugging you. Enjoy the sights and sounds... Try bird friendly!
