Bird friendly garden design

While living in Canberra I used to get such pleasure from watching the antics of birds in my garden. Not only were they a source of creative inspiration but, because I often worked from home, often they were my only company during the day : )

That is why I 'm pleased that the people at Birds in Backyards have created a photo gallery of bird attracting gardens (examples below) and useful DIY videos. Click here to see more.
