The soft chirping of birds early in the morning is sure to put a great start to anyone’s day. So, if you have a backyard or a home garden, here are a few flowers to grow to attract these beautiful birds to your home.

One of the most common and beautiful flowers seen in Indian gardens is the Hibiscus. The bright red, pink, and white blooms are rich in nectar, making them a favourite of birds who get attracted to them.

The Palash tree has amazing bright red flowers that attract not just humans but also birds and butterflies. The nectar feeders are attracted to its flowers and they are also great to make nests.

Bougainvillaea is a hardy, flowering vine known for its soft, thin, and colourful flowers that range from pink and purple to red and orange. While not a direct source of nectar, bougainvillaea attracts insects, which in turn attract insectivorous birds.

Sunflowers are not only beautiful but also great at attracting birds. Their large flower heads produce seeds that are a favourite among seed-eating birds like sparrows, finches, and parrots.

The bright, cheerful Marigolds are a total ‘bird magnet’. Their sweet smell attracts birds and as it also has insects, insectivorous birds love it.

Another bird mangnet is the white and yellow Daisy. Daisies are nectar-rich flowers that attract birds like goldfinches, sparrows, and finches, who feed on the sweet liquid.

While Milkweed is famous for being a butterfly-attracting plant, it also is great to invite birds to the garden. From the strong twigs that help birds make their nest, to the flowers that give them nectar, Milkweed in the garden is like an invite to the birds and butterflies.
