    What do birds need? Well, they look out for three basic\nneeds:  Food, Water  & Shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. First step is to stop using chemical fertilizers\nand pesticides. I have discussed on these issues and using natural fertilizers\nand pesticides in my previous videos; you can check those from links in\ndescription.<\/li>
    2. Provide Food and Water to birds \u2013 like\ninstalling simple bird feeders and bird baths in your favourite spots in\ngarden. Add simple bird food like sunflower seeds or anything that\u2019s available\nat your local pet store, including the mixed seeds to attract a variety of\nbirds.<\/li>
    3. Provide Shelter \u2013 like installing bird houses\nand stuff like that to provide shelter. If you have larger trees in your\ngarden, it\u2019s an added advantage. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Now lastly coming to the Bird Feeders: There are several\ntypes of feeders to choose. You can hang feeders from hooks. You can even make\nyour own DIY bird feeders from plastic bottles.  
      \nTake any sized plastic plate or a tray like this.
      \nFix the bottle cork to the centre of this tray. Bolting this is a good idea to\nmake it sturdy. Also try to prevent any leaks.
      \nMake holes like this near the bottle mouth.
      \nFill the bottle and cork the tray to the bottle and invert this set up.
      \nYou can hang this simple DIY water feeder for birds in your garden using some\nstrings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
