How do I keep birds from flying into your windows?

One solution is to stick a decal onto the window to show the bird that a surface exists. If a bird happens to strike a window and falls to the ground, carefully move the stunned bird to a safe area while the bird becomes fully recovered and can fly off.

Is there a way to keep ants out of bird feeders?

By adding an ant moat above your Hummingbird or Oriole feeder you can easily eliminate these unwanted pests at the feeder. The cup shaped device holds water and when the ant climbs down the hook, they are trapped in the pool of water and your feeder will be free of ants.

What is the ideal depth for a bird bath?

Ideally the bath should be about 3” deep so large birds can soak and hold a flock that may bathe together. A large stone can be added to create an island. Be sure to clean bird baths often to keep water fresh and clean.

Should I put up multiple feeders in my yard?

Adding multiple feeders to your landscape will draw in many bird species for you to enjoy. Different species prefer different types of seed and feeders. Feeder placement should be near trees or shrubbery so birds can safely fly to the feeder and back to the shelter to perch.
