Customer Reviews

Hatch your bird garden using this book!

I have used this book in the winter and the spring of 2002, and the results have been more than I could have expected. The book is well written, nicely illustrated, and well organized. If you want to have one reference book on hand, then you would be wise to consider this one.

If you only buy one book on the subject...

Make it this one. It's full of detailed information on all aspects of creating a garden that will attract birds. It's well written and clearly illustrated.

A whole new way to garden!

Why plant any impulse buy from the nursery when one can choose plants that are important as food sources for local birds? I originally checked this book out of the library but I want to buy one because it is so beautiful and useful. I will return to it again and again as I choose new plants for the yard and plan the garden. The book has suggested garden layouts for each area of the country, listing recommended flowers, shrubs, and trees for each area. It identifies birds common to each area and which foods each species prefers. It is lavishly illustrated. I particularly appreciate the color photographs of plants, which makes it a lot easier to spot them at the nursery. I've learned a lot about both birds and plants from this book.

I need help!

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm looking for dried plants (whole) like millet that I can attach to a birdhouse. I can't find where theywould be at. Please Email me at strkravn@sopris.net with any info. Thank you!
