It is simply a matter of planting material that is suitable for food and shelter. Flowers, fruits, evergreen and deciduous trees, and water. Basically, if you provide a place for birds to feed and the appropriate food, you will have birds.
Some birds eat seeds, some eat fruit and many eat insects, particularly during the summer.
Choose a sturdy, squirrel-proof seed feeder for those birds that will eat seeds and place it near the edge of an open area. Birds need to have trees of bushes near a feeding area so they can hide should a predator come along. The bushes should not be so close to the feeder that they can hid a predator such as a family cat, though. Fruit eaters can sometimes be attracted to fruit feeders containing apples or oranges, but they will also feed at fruit bearing plants in your yard, such as blackberries or hollies. To assure a good supply of insects for the insect eaters, avoid spraying your lawn and garden with chemical pesticides.
