By creating a habitat with basic necessities, homeowners can provide birds in urban environments a safe haven. As long as three basic needs are met -- food, water and shelter -- birds will flock to a backyard to make use of these resources. A bird feeder is the simplest way to attract birds; feeders can be made at home for very little money, or can be purchased for modest prices. Keeping them stocked with ample seed will keep birds coming back. During the winter, a suet feeder is also recommended to provide additional nutrients. A birdbath or other water feature will also attract repeat visits. A heated birdbath is necessary in the winter to keep the water flowing freely. Such birdbaths may be purchased at bird supply stores. Be sure to use bird decals to keep birds from flying into your windows.
