There are lots of ways nature may be encouraged in the garden which vary in scale and cost from a simple bird feeder or bird table up to the more sophisticated bird box or owl box. Additionally, squirrel feeders and bat boxes can be obtained but what the home owner should select really depends on how keen an interest they've got in nature and their budget. The bird box or owl box give you a happy medium which is neither very basic nor excessively expensive and can provide a source of great joy, particularly for children.



A bird feeder can be a cheaper option and alot simpler in design, however they could work equally well to encourage a variety of birds into a garden. Strategically placed, in view of your window, you are able to observe nature at its best for hours with the birds feeding from your bird feeder. Additionally, providing bird feeders can be essential for birds during the cold months as they know that they have a sure and reliable food source during the months that it is scarcer. Although a bird table or bird bath might not have all the benefits of a bird box, it is possible to still experience the joy of watching the many species of birds feed and wash.



If birds really are your great passion then the best option is a bird box or owl box. There are numerous places around your garden that you could place your bird box, either mounted on a fence, wall, or tree or possibly against the eves of the house. Throughout the nesting season, you may even observe a couple of birds becoming resident in your bird box . And as time goes on, observe the adult birds building their nest, ready for the arrival of the chicks . Furthermore, the owner could even be lucky enough to view the first flight of one of the chicks. To improve this experience, you can install a bird box camera, to let you observe the chicks through their first precious days and not miss a moment.



In many respects an owl box is similar, except they become more active during the night as they are nocturnal creatures. Owls are magnificent hunters that are certainly a joy to watch and behold. Through an owl box, all the family can learn how these fabulous creatures live, and with camera fitted in the owl box you'll have the perfect view.



If you're interested in nature, especially birds and wish to learn more about them, or just observe them in their natural form, it is possible to encourage them into your garden. The choices range between the basic bird feeders and bird tables to the more sophisticated bird box.
