For The Feathered Friends

Any mother looking for a source of tranquility will enjoy the peaceful sounds of the birds singing their lovely tune. Waking up to the relaxing sound of birds chirping outside the window is perhaps one of the best things in life. Birds require a good source of food to be drawn to your yard. If you want them to stay, adding a source of water and shelter will really boost the activity in the yard.

A small birdbath makes a lovely gift. This glass birdbath pictured also doubles as a bird feeder. The green swirl in the glass glows in the evening hours. I like to look for garden accents that serve a purpose and have a bit of artistic appeal. No matter what size bath you choose, putting it near a feeder increases the activity immensely. Make sure when choosing a location for your newly gifted bath, you pick a place that can be viewed from a window. Seeing the birds splash around in the new bath will surely bring happiness to any viewer. You can find a similar style birdbath here.

A birdhouse also makes a perfect gift. You can never have too many safe havens for your winged friends. Keep in mind what birds you are trying to attract when purchasing a style of birdhouse. Some birds require the house to be attached to a tree, others prefer it to be hanging from a tree. Some enjoy houses that are placed on a post. This birdhouse pictured can be found here. It attracts downy woodpeckers, chickadees, finches and more. Any mom will enjoy watching the birds flock to their new humble abode. Set it up for her, then you can both can sit back and enjoy!
