If you want to<\/span> encourage birds to return to your garden birdbath, you need to create an environment that feels safe and welcoming. These four plants are the ideal selection for planting around your birdbath:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Coneflowers<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

With their daisy-like petals, these have vibrant flowers during the spring and summer seasons. Due to their vibrancy, they become a food source for birds. Once the petals of the flowers fade, the seed heads are left in place and function as an important food source for birds, especially in late summer to early autumn. Providing a well-balanced food source for your birds all 4 seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n
