For those that are interesting in either growing native plants for birds or atleast knowing what plants they can use I have a great book which I refer to frequently. It is called 'Creating a native garden for birds' by Frances Hutchison. It talks about suitable plants for different garden areas (shade, full sun, etc) and also discusses some exotic plants as well. My original purchase price was $17 a few years ago so it is a pretty reasonably priced little book.

 

For those trying to get a hold of it the ISBN is 0-7318-0133-4

There is currently one for sale on sale on eBay. Do a search for the title. I wont post the link because everytime I post an eBay link it doesnt work
