Wind chimes can also add a sense of peace and tranquility. Try an inexpensive, store-bought rock garden with a fountain for the pleasant sound of gurgling water. It could be your meditative respite. Certain flowers attract birds or butterflies. A basic gardening book will recommend them.
Birds also like a bit of water and food, of course.
Birds also need shelter for nesting in a tree, bush, or under garage eaves. Set up equipment to make it convenient for frequent use. Pull a cart with wheels along or a wagon with supplies if you can. Or, keep a cart set up in a convenient location. If you have space, set up a tool shed.
