The absolute best flower to attract birds is the sunflower. Birds love picking off the sunflower seeds and they are really attracted to the bright yellow color. They also love coneflower and coreopsis.
Certain types of birds such as hummingbirds love nectar plants. Bee balm, fuchsia, honeysuckle, jewel weed and salvia are a few. Be sure to have a special bird feeder that can hold nectar.
Apple, oak, hickory, cottonwood and balsam fir are a few types of trees that will attract birds. Most likely you will see birds hanging out in these types of trees during the day.
Not only do shrubs and bushes attract birds because of the food, but they also provide protection when they are hiding from predators. Holly and juniper bushes are two of the most popular shrubs that attract birds.
Strawberry vines and wild grape vines are the most popular vines that attract birds because of the sweet taste. If you have fruit vines on your fence you may hear birds chirping in your kitchen windows each morning.
