Today I’m talking about how to attract birds to your garden. A birdbath is a very good idea, as long as there are not too many cats about! Consider putting one in your yard. I also discuss a few useful (late winter- to early spring-blooming) ornamental plants that give nectar and, thus, attract honeyeaters. The red Japonicas shown near the birdbath certainly bring in the honeyeating birds. Next is the fleshy succulent known as a Kalanchoe. They have nice red bells that attract honeyeaters. These are rather lower to the ground, so please consider cats when you are locating them in your garden. The Woodbine Honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima) has a beautiful lemony scent. It’s fragrance is, too, a bit reminiscent of “Brut” aftershave. While not the richest source of honey, the blossoms are still appreciated by hungry honeyeaters when there is not too much food about. It is quite a good bush that blackbirds will nest in, as well. Almond trees have pretty showy blossoms and nectar enough to attract quite a few visitors each day. …..
