Introduction
Anyone who lives in the country or any rural area is lucky whether they have realized it yet or not. Why are they lucky? Because they have nature all around them and even in their own backyards. For those who have tapped into this luxury, they already know what I am talking about and the benefits of being in touch with nature. For anyone who has not gotten in touch with nature, yet, they don’t know what they are missing but I highly suggest they try and find out. If you take the time to look out your window more often and explored your backyard more often you may find that there are many creatures sharing that space with you. Foxes, deer, coyotes, rabbits and, of course, many species of birds. You may have already noticed that there are crows and seagulls around but taking a closer look at your surroundings may make you see that there is a lot more to birds in your backyard than you realized. You will discover that there are also owls, eagles and a variety of species of birds to admire and get to know in your backyard. Below are some tips of how to communicate to bids and make the most of their prescience.
Step 1
The first thing you need to do is find out where the birds to which you will be communicating with typically congregate in your yard so you know where to start. Check the trees, the gardens and anywhere near water.
Step 2
Secondly, you should find out what species and types of birds hang around in your area so you can research more about them and their behavior to make it easier to communicate to birds. This research can be done online or at the library through various books related to birds.
Step 3
Now that you know more about the birds to which you will be trying to communicate with, start trying to gain their trust. Put bird feeders in areas where they hang out and feed them daily so you know you are trying to help them, not hurt them. Leave the feeder alone for a few days and than gradually make yourself visible to birds from a short distance.
Step 4
Just sit quietly from a safe distance and watch the birds to which you want to communicate with. Always approach slowly and quietly.
Step 5
After a while, when the birds to which you want to communicate get used to you more, they will start coming closer to you and you will be able to get a closer look at them and even photograph them.
Tips
It won’t take long, but soon, these birds to which you will become fond with over time will soon be your friends. Some of them will even sit on your shoulder or take food right out of your hand.
If you plan to draw birds to your yard, make sure they have a safe environment. Leave your cat indoors if you have one, make sure the bird feeder is high off the ground and don’t leave garbage or toxic materials laying around the yard where they can into it.
