Songbird habitat gardening

Birds enjoy fruit, seeds, nectar and insects. They benefit from shelter, a water source, and a bell on the neighborhood cat! Here are some ideas for planting native plants to attract birds to your habitat garden:

• CNPS Santa Clara Valley Chapter "Berries for the Birds" (pdf)
  
• Las Pilitas Nursery Plants to attract birds
  
• Tree of Life Nursery handout Natives for Songbirds
• Planting Gardens for Birds in Southern California, by Betsey Landis. (pdf)
