Spring is one of the most critical seasons in a bird’s life cycle. As temperatures rise, millions of birds migrate north to their breeding grounds, seeking food, shelter, and safe nesting sites along the way. For many species, backyards in urban and suburban neighborhoods aren’t just flyover zones — they’re essential rest stops or even permanent habitats. That’s why what homeowners choose to plant, build, and illuminate can make a huge difference. Check out some tips by our friends at Cat Topia to make your backyard more welcoming to birds, and keep your cats safely enclosed.
