Birdscaping our gardens

Did you know that gardens play an important role in bird conservation? As urbanization increases on the Sunshine Coast your garden can contribute to maintaining bird diversity whilst also bringing joy to your day as you share your life with our feathered friends.

Establishing a bird-attracting garden has its trials and tribulations and this practical presentation will help you avoid some of the common mistakes and inspire you to dig for birds.
