Plant more trees and flowers

Birds and parrots are naturally drawn to colourful plants and nectar-rich flowers. So, the more beautiful flowers you have at home, and in the garden, the more birds and parrots will be drawn to you.

Bird feeders

Bird feeders filled with grains, pollen, and bird food are also great for attracting birds into the space. Sunflower seeds, millets, ragi grain, and the like draw birds to your home in search of food and they repeatedly come to find more.

Keep water pots

Keeping pots and dishes filled with water on the balcony or near treetops will help birds come to your space repeatedly when they are thirsty. And with time they will bring more friends your way!

Place for nests

Birds are attracted to safe spaces where they can build their nests and lay eggs to protect their young. So, create a safe space in the garden with colourful decor or some artificial nests so that the birds are pulled towards the space.
