What are the best plants to draw birds to our landscape?

A. Consider what birds look for in plants — food, a place to build nests and safety. The best fruit-producing plants would include pyracanthas, hollies (especially yaupon and possumhaw), the various privets and mahonias. Dense, tightly branched plants will provide the best nest-building sites as well as good security and privacy. Truth is, you could probably attract many more birds, and more types as well, with feeders scattered over your yard. Most types of songbirds love the small black oil-type sunflower seeds. Hang several feeders some distance apart for maximum bird activity in your garden. Have a question you’d like Neil to consider?
