How to attract useful birds to your plot: a lifesaver for summer residents
Many owners of country plots believe that birds bring only harm to lovingly cultivated plantings.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh does not argue – thrushes and the like are indeed famous as crop thieves.
However, besides them, there are wagtails, tits, and flycatchers, which feed on worms, larvae, and bugs.
This means that the birds will do you a great service by ridding you of a significant portion of the voracious pests.
To attract birds to your property, all you need to do is hang a bird feeder there.
Don't forget to regularly fill it with seeds, millet, corn, wheat - in general, with what birds love so much.
In addition, it is worth making sure that the birds always have access to fresh water.
You can also plant berry trees and bushes on the site specifically for the birds, for example, viburnum, rowan, sea buckthorn or hawthorn - you are unlikely to eat these fruits with particular pleasure, but for the birds it will be a real feast.
