Many birds who are regular visitors to our garden, often perch in trees in the perimeter of the garden, when they are new to the garden. Over a period of time they come to the shrubs and plants in the courtyard.
I wondered about this!
One of course is how Daphne, our dog responds to them. When she has seen some birds regularly she no more would bark at them. This increases the comfort level of the birds to come closer to the house. This bird is on a plant 10 feet away opposite Daphne's yard!
The other factor which has a bearing is the way humans respond to their presence. I am yet to fully understand how birds pick up cues of threatening and welcoming presence. I presume that, most birds are comfortable in a less noisy and crowded setting!
I thought that our bird bath owl attract birds. But it is favourite place only for squirrels!
How to make our environment bird friendly is something that Anna and I are still working on!
