Plants to attract birds
To attract birds plan your planting to provide food and cover. Birds will eat insects, that you are also attracting^, and will also eat fruit and berries. These tend to be seasonal, but, even when birds rely on your bird feeders try to position these to deter swooping sparrow hawks. If possible provide continuous shrub and tree cover, and provide artificial nesting sites cats can't reach, positioned where they won't bake all day in the sun. Avoid pesticide sprays that will decimate the insect population.
