I want to try natural method of deleting bugs(caterpillars and slugs) from my garden. I want to attract birds to my garden. I bought some bird feed and what next? Where should I put it so they “see” it and come? Should I buy special equipment to use to put the feed on? Sorry for my naive question – I am new to all this;-)) Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

When warmer weather arrives, the majority of people who feed birds remove their feeders. However, occasionally, even insects-eating birds like to have a snack. Maintain a minimum of one feeder stocked with a premium seed blend that attracts cardinals, chickadees, sparrows, and grosbeaks. Additionally, think about making non-melting suet cakes to attract woodpeckers and titmice to your yard. They will eat other treats and insect larvae while they are there.
A list of common backyard birds and some insect pests they eat is provided below. You can exhale with relief the next time you see or hear a bird in your yard, knowing that they are on your side, assisting you in maintaining the health and aesthetic appeal of your garden.
This is good news for gardeners because late spring and early summer are typically the peak seasons for garden pests. By searching our gardens for cabbage worms, whiteflies, aphids, earwigs, grasshoppers, cucumber beetles, and grubs, our avian companions can spare us a great deal of headaches!
The majority of backyard avian food consists of seeds, berries, and insects. However, during the late spring and early summer, birds are occupied with feeding their hatchlings, and the only food that the young birds enjoy is newly captured insects.
Water is what draws birds to it for bathing and drinking, especially when the water is moving. If you currently have a birdbath, you might want to consider adding a bubbler. If you don’t currently have a birdbath, consider installing an outdoor fountain. You’ll give your garden the allure of flowing water and also add a visually pleasing sculpture. Birds will come from blocks away if you install a small pond with a solar fountain or a recirculating waterfall.
