Adding a bird feeder to your garden, porch or lawn is a simple and inexpensive way to enhance the outdoor area. A bird feeder is also a great way to introduce your children and family members to nature. Since more and more people spend less time outdoors, something as simple as a bird feeder can become a reason for people to step outside and enjoy local wild life.

Purchasing a bird feeder is simple. The first thing you will need to do is select a style that complements the rest of your outdoor architecture. For example, a classic, vintage bird feeder will go perfect with your shabby chic furniture while a more whimsical bird house, such as a hot air balloon or margarita feeder, will match eclectic décor.

Once you’ve found the perfect bird feeder, you will need to find a good spot for it. Most people place their bird feeders among the plants and flowers in the garden. Whether you own a bird feeder, bird house, or a bird bath, consider placing it right among your roses. This is a perfect spot because it enhances the garden and helps draw the eye up toward the other plants and decorations.
