Foods (plants) that are preferred by these birds are also identified. Explanations are given for each plant's ornamental value; time in bloom and in fruit; height; adaptations; and also the number of bird species that use it. Practical ideas are outlined for attracting birds to homes and gardens. These include suggestions related to water areas, screens and fences, open areas, windbreaks, food plots and feeders, bird boxes and baths.
