There are four main things that birds require to survive;

FOOD

WATER

NESTING

SHELTER

By providing one or two of these necessities, you should be able to attract birds to your yard no matter where you live on Long Island.  What you might not have in your yard already, you can add by simply putting out a bird feeder, bird bath, nesting box, or doing some “bird” gardening.

In these articles I am going to try and stick with the more basic and simple ways to attract birds.  If you decide you want to go further with landscaping for the birds, building a bird pond, or just about anything I will talk about in these articles, there are many wonderful websites dealing with these topics.  Do a search and I'll guarantee you'll find a wealth of articles to help you in your endeavors.
