In addition think of water features and brush piles.

Do everything you can to plant native species or at least flowering species
that offer nectar AND pollen (not all plants do). If you plant non-natives,
try to make sure they're not aggressive species that spread easily or "take
over." Find ways to discourage feral cats, house sparrows, starlings, etc.
Also foster insects. More bugs = more birds. Leave your weeds and leaves,
don't mow your grass down all the time, and avoid pesticides and herbicides.

Mass plantings of blooming plants do a better job of attracting hummingbirds
and butterflies than just a few plants. Dallas red lantanas, turks cap,
flame acanthus, and autumn sage salvia are my favorites.

All,
I know many of you have fantastic back yards designed to attract birds.
I’m looking at doing some work myself and seeking ideas.
I’d love to see some pictures, as well as learn any advice, tips, and
tricks folks might wish to share.
