If you want your garden to be filled with the sounds of birds, you'll have to put in a little work.

An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh listed the best bushes for birds, which will certainly attract birds to your site.

Elder

At the end of summer, the elderberry produces fruits that are attractive to birds, and in the spring, thanks to its flowering, this plant becomes a magnet for various insects - birds are also not averse to snacking on them.

Lavender

Lavender looks great both on its own and in combination with other garden plants.

In addition to the silvery-grey foliage and fragrant flowers of lavender making the garden incredibly attractive, this plant attracts birds.

Some birds use the bushes as shelter, others sometimes hunt for lavender seeds, and others pursue insects attracted by lavender flowers.

Cotoneaster

It is difficult to find a more delicious treat for birds than dogwood berries. Another advantage of the plant is that it is suitable for any garden: woody forms of dogwood will look harmonious on large areas, and for growing near a wall - a horizontal version.

Barberry

Barberries come in different sizes: from dwarf shrubs (30 cm high) to plants over 2 meters high. Almost all species boast bright red berries and sharp thorns. This is why birds love them - for the opportunity to use the bushes as a shelter and a source of food.

For reference

Birds are a group of warm-blooded, egg-laying vertebrates, traditionally considered as a separate class.
