The Backyard Naturalist has many favorite gifts inspired by Mother Nature that your Mom will love.

But how about a gift that’s a year round source of joy for her that will also benefit generations of birds? Start, or add to, a habitat for wild birds in your Mom’s backyard.

It’s so simple.

No matter the scale, level of your effort or budget, it’s just three humble elements to make a habitat:

• Food ( Seeds, Suet, etc.  |  Feeders),
• Water ( Bird Baths & Fountains)
• Shelter ( Bird Houses ).

It also doesn’t matter which element goes first, but a Bird Bath WILL ATTRACT ALL BIRDS—including the non-seed eaters!  Spring migrants ( currently passing through) will be enticed to make exciting and unpredictable guest appearances!!!

A great way to kick start a habitat! Not to mention, an elegant addition to her garden, too.

We’re here to help!
