What sorts of birds can I attract if I live in a rural area?

If you are not currently feeding the birds and you have a rural property or a village or town place with lots of trees and natural area around you, you will be surprised at how many birds you can attract. Habitat is the key to why there are so many birds in the country. With trees, ponds, wetlands, and areas with natural vegetation, birds can find a haven for nesting, and sources of natural food. Because a rich environment can more easily host a larger variety of birds, you have an opportunity to attract that same variety of birds to your country yard. We regularly hear from customers, and see for ourselves, that you can attract grosbeaks, goldfinches, white and red-breasted nuthatches, blackbirds, robins, chickadees, Downy and Hairy woodpeckers, hummingbirds, flickers, White-crowned and White-throated sparrows, jays, grouse, Purple and House finches, and sometimes rarer birds like Baltimore Orioles. Without feeders, you may see these birds occasionally, but to get regular visitors, and to attract those rarer birds, putting out feeders will bring a variety of colour and winged pleasure to your yard.
