Everyone loves the birds and we like to see them have plenty 
to eat. Now we can very easily beautify our grounds and supply 
food to the birds at the same time if we plant beautiful shrubs 
which bear berries and fruit which the birds like as food. We have 
many of these shrubs planted about our grounds and the birds 
do a good job of eating the fruit. 
We know if we have strawberries, currants, or raspberries in 
our garden that we have a struggle to keep the fruit from the 
birds. If we have shrubs and trees in our yard that bear fruit that 
the birds like, they will be apt to eat these fruits and leave the 
other fruits alone. 
This summer we took particular notice of what shrubs and 
tree fruits the birds particularly liked and we advise the planting 
of the above shrubs and trees and we have listed them in the 
order in which they ripen and are eaten by the birds.
