Welcome to Edgewater Home and Garden's Birding Department. We have all your needs for your feathered and furry friends.
Bird feeding can benefit birds and also provides great bird watching from your own backyard. The obvious time to feed birds is in winter when natural food supplies are scarce; however, additional species visit feeders during the spring and fall migrations, and also during summer while nesting
To continue to have the birds coming to your feeder throughout the entire year provide them with the three following things:
-Good Quality Seed consistently
-Plenty of good clean water for drinking and bathing
-Ample cover of native plants for protection and nesting.
We would love to help you creat the perfect wildlife habitat in your backyard for years of enjoyment.

Although there are many, many choices of seed for your feathered friends, and many ways to feed them there are some basic rules that will help attract some more specific birds to your backyard habitat.
Love Sunflower Seeds, especially Black Oil Sunflowers and Suet Cakes.
Love Sunflowers, Safflowers and Suet Cakes
Feed these sweet little gems their all time favorite Nyjer Thistle Seed. They will also flock to your feeder for Sunflowers, and Safflower Seed. This is one of the only birds that eat upside down, why not try an Upside Down Feeder for them!
 
Some of the most prized birds for their beautiful color. They are especiall attracted to Safflower, and Black Oil Sunflowers. They would prefer a platform type feeding area rather than a perch or tube feeder.
Blue Jays are lovers of Sunflowers, Corn, Milo and Suet. They can be loud, but their beauty makes up for their obnoxious behavior, don't you think?
