I love attracting birds to my backyard. Where I live there are a lot of finches, nuthatches, hummingbirds, and wrens, and we even have a few doves that regularly visit our yard. There are many different types of bird feeders to choose from, and many you can make yourself. I hope you find yourself inspired by these DIY bird feeders!
