In this post for Tips From the Garden~ I have found a most beautiful bird that will brighten your
winter blues for the up coming fall/winter. They are the stunning Red Northern Cardinals Birds.
These amazing bright red birds seem to always take away those winter blues and make your winter a much more warmer and brighter one; Plus they will make your porch or backyards much more livelier.
If your are lucky enough to live in the areas of the Red Cardinals territory its really not difficult to lure these beauties to your Hollies Trees/Shrubs. Some of the best Hollies would be the Winterberry which show the deciduous bright red berries throughout the winter for these beautiful Cardinals and they will stay in yur yard for the entire winter feeding on these different juicy red berries for your bird watching delight. In some of my other Tips from the Garden you will find other kinds of Hollies that I have put in my blog for you too.

There are a few tips from the National Wildlife that will also help you during the winter months in helping the wildlife birds that will come to your yards and porches too. I hope that this tips I give you will help your for you gardens for the up coming fall and winter. These tips that I am going to give you involve the three key elements of Food/water/and shelter for your Red Cardinals that will visit your Gardens this winter. When doing a bit of research on these beauty's you might be surprised on hope diverse they are on their eating habits. Basically these birds will eat more than a hundred different types of seeds and fruits including any
Feeders that you might put out for them too.
If you want to put Feeders I found out what kind of seed the Red Cardinals eat and how to make a
Feeder for these beauties too. First the seeds. These could be sunflower seeds; safflower seeds; cracked corn or even cut-up apples! How where and How to place these tasty treats for your new friends? I found out there are quite a few ways to place these treats for your Red Cardinals to find you tasty treats. One way is to put them on a sturdy platform or hopper feeder near your Hollie Trees and Shrubs. This way the Cardinals can find them very easily. And of course the Holly Trees & Shrubs like the Winterberry are great too for your Red Cardinals because they will bare fruit the entire winter. Another item that I didn't think of but I discover for you
all in my Garden tips is water in the winter. It seems that the Red Cardinals use water on a daily basis for drinking and get this! BATHING IN THE WINTER! So I had to think about this one for you all my dears,
How do you keep water for your bird friend without it Freezing! The only thing that I did find which
I very much doubt that most folks would be able or world consider doing is maintaining a heated
birdbath. I thought that was kinda funny myself. An heating pad under a bird bathe in the dead of winter while its snowing and about oh! here it can get about lows 10'degrees but, in the upper northern area's were talking -20' 30 and I just don't see too many folks using a heating pad, but there is always the exception.
Finally for your tips of the Garden on the Red Cardinals I discovered that the birds prefer thickets and the
evergreens for roosting in the winter. So if you have this type of tree or shrub in your area or if your
thinking of getting a new wintery type shrub/tree one of these just might be the one for this Year!
When you do, you'll want to place it nearby a feeder if you have made one. It will make your Red Cardinals feel much more safe and comfortable in there new home. Well I hope that you all will find a few helpful
tips for your gardens and yards even though the summer is coming to an end. I will still have Tips for the Garden Every Saturday for you.. It will be something different every saturday. What ever I might think of. I myself am thinking of getting a holly too. I will let you all know if I actually do.
Untill next time I hope I have given you some helpful tips and Happy Gardening
