just plant native plants that have seed heads and don't dead head them once they're done flowering. your neighbor will think your garden is ugly, but they won't have many birds in their garden.
- hammock 3y agocan you deadhead but just leave them all in one spot in the yard for the birds to find?
- greenie_beans 3y agoidk, try it and let us know how it works out.
- EvanAnderson 3y agoWe plant sunflowers and zinnias to get lovely visits from hummingbirds (and bees and butterflies) in the early to mid-summer and jays and finches coming for the seeds in the fall.
- goda90 3y agoDon't spray pesticides either. A lot of birds eat insects.
- Angostura 3y agoYou can do that, and you’ll certainly have seed available for - three months of the year
- greenie_beans 3y agono, that is false. the seedheads sit on the stalk through the winter, providing bird food through meager times. that has been my experience at least, in both a warmer climate and a colder climate.
