The article I read this week is about the amount of birds in people’s front and back yards and what people can plant to get more birds to come to the yards. People at the University of illinois conducted a survey to see where the different bird species were and what was in the yards to attract them. The surveys showed that there were more bird species in yards with trees such as coniferous and evergreens, yards with some sort of berry or fruit bushes, and yards that did not let their cats or dogs outside. If enough to people in a neighborhood agree, people can even certify their area and become a certified NWF Community Wildlife Habitat.
