What Trees Attract Cardinals to Your Yard?

As a homeowner, it’s your aim to meticulously consider the best trees to add to your landscaping, make your home beautiful and bringing it added value, as well. for many people, landscaping isn’t only about aesthetic appeal. It’s about attracting wildlife. A popular choice of plants is trees that attract cardinals.

Cardinals are the most preferred of any yard birds. They are charming in any season with lovely songs to match their vivid plumage. Also, they are one of the easiest birds to entice to your yard if you have the right bird baths, feeders, and nesting areas.

What Makes Cardinals Special
Cardinals are one of the most well-liked birds on earth. With their lively red plumage, they stand out from the landscaping in both winter and summer. Even the females have beautiful red highlights to complement their pale colored feathers. 

Cardinals usually don’t migrate. If they have what they need in the area, they don’t want to relocate from a place that is safe and secure. As with any living thing, cardinals need water, food, and shelter to survive. By satisfying all these needs, you turn your yard into a preferred habitat.

Picking the Right Food
Like any creature, birds are inspired by food. If you have a food source cardinals crave and enjoy, they’ll visit your yard over and over again.

Cardinals like to eat in the late evening and early morning. Make sure to check your feeders often, making sure they are filled. When cardinals realize your yard is a good source of food, they will make it their permanent residence.

Using the Right Feeder
Besides having the right food, it’s also critical to have the right feeder to fulfill a cardinal’s needs. Your feeder has to be durable enough to support birds while they eat.

Hanging, lightweight bird feeders are best avoided since they’ll sway and swirl under a cardinal’s weight. Instead, buy a bird feeder with the trays included or a platform feeder that offers plenty of room for a cardinal to perch while it eats.

Offer A Water Source
Cardinals need access to water for both bathing and drinking. A birdbath is a good way to fulfill both. With bird feeders, a birdbath is needed to accommodate the size of these big birds. Be sure the birdbath is two to three inches deep.  For help on picking and installing the right birdbath, call a Syracuse Tree Care professional.
