Make Your Yard a Bird Haven

You may be one of those people spend those lazy summer days inside on the couch. Even if you don't do that(I know I don't), You can spend this time making your yard a haven for birds.
First and foremost, is Water. Birds need it to bathe, drink, and some even to live in. If you are thinking of going to the store and buying one of those beautiful Victorian style birdbaths, stop yourself. Water in a bird bath doesn't need to be more that two inches deep. so go with an old(but clean) garbage can lid or a frisbee.
Also, consider your food supply. Do you have enough seed to last through those cold winter months? If not, go to the store and stock up. Suet also makes a good alternative to seed. It will last up to four weeks at the most.
Finally,PLEASE make sure your yard is safe so that you can spend those dreary winter days watching one of God's most beautiful creations.
