Many birds go for berries in a big way.
So if you plant a variety of shrubs and trees that bear berries, birds are bound to flock to your backyard. And think of the bonuses. Plants that bear berries also provide good hiding and nesting places for birds that don't eat the berries. With berry bushes around, watch for hermit and varied thrushes, wax wings, robins, bluebirds, and mockingbirds. They may be doubly attracted to your yard by both your feeders and your berry plants.
