Baby birds, like baby humans, babble incessantly. However, there is a good reason for that babble. Did you know that according to research, babies learn new sounds in the same way that baby birds do? All that tweeting and chirping — and the environment it occurs in — is beneficial to growing and learning babies. If you're planning to add plants to your yard, add some bird-friendly plants.
Attracting birds to your garden by creating a bird-friendly environment with plants can benefit your baby in several ways.
Birdsong Improves Concentration
According to experts, listening to birdsong helps to improve cognitive function. In other words, birdsong will help your baby concentrate. For a growing baby, concentration is important. After all, like little birds, they are constantly listening to and imitating their parents. As such, sitting in a garden with your baby while surrounded by the chirping of birds will help your baby to learn.
What's more, further research shows that the sensory-rich environment of the outdoors is more conducive to language learning development than a sensory-deprived indoor environment.
Birdsong Relaxes Babies
When it's time for your baby to sleep, birdsong can help with that too. Like classical music or a soothing lullaby, birdsong lulls both adults and babies to sleep. Subsequently, if you plan to add more plants to your garden, try to include plants that attract birds. The plants listed below will help you to create an environment in which birds will feel comfortable.
Plants for Shelter and Safety
The most important factors when adding bird-friendly plants to your garden are shelter and safety. Without those two things, birds will be reluctant to enter and stay in your yard. As such, add some of the following plants to your garden:
The above plants also offer birds plenty of food in the form of nectar. However, you'll still need to provide a water source for birds, such as a pond or even several small dishes of water placed throughout your yard. In addition, you could also provide your birds with nuts -- however, be aware that nuts can bring rodents if not placed strategically.
