Large bird feeders not only help give birds sustenance, especially in the colder months, they make great lawn ornaments. Sure, attracting wildlife to your lawn is a strong motive to have a bird feeder. But the satisfaction you get from a well-designed landscape is just as wonderful. Large bird feeders come in all different styles and shapes. Here is some advice on how to choose large bird feeders and how to fit them into your landscaping project.
First, you will need to design your landscape. Do you already have a theme? Some large bird feeders are so ornate that they can be a great focal point. For example, if you want to choose a theme such as mythology, you can find or make a bird feeder in the shape of an ancient Greek or Roman temple and incorporate plants that remind you of that time period.
When you decide which type of large bird feeders you want, you will need to decide if you are going to make or buy it. If you decide to make it, it helps to design it using computer software and then putting the design into action. If you don't have strong woodworking skills, you may want to get a contractor to make it for you.
Your next step is to find where you would like to place your large bird feeders. Although you can find or make a feeder with any theme you want, you need to place them high up so the birds can get to them. You can either post it on a tree or attach it to its own stand. A problem to consider is that other animals, such as squirrels, tend to use the bird feeder for their own purposes, and this may scare away the birds.
Once you've installed your large bird feeders into the landscape, you can enjoy watching the birds and finish the rest of your landscaping.
