Attract Wildlife into your Garden

  • Plant nectar-rich plants to attract a number of wild visitors to your garden including butterflies and nectar-eating birds like Lorikeets and Honeyeaters. Plants such as Bottlebrush, Banksias and Grevilleas are a good choice

  • Seed and fruit-producing plants like Grasses, Wattles, Casuarinas and Eucalypts are favoured by seed-eaters like Finches, Rosellas and Parrots

  • Adding a water source, such as a bird bath will encourage birds (especially seed eating birds) to visit your garden regularly.

  • Be aware that fruit trees can attract Flying Foxes and Possums

  • Attracting insects to the garden will also encourage insect-eating birds, such as Pardalotes. Most flowering plants will attract insects.

  • Smaller animals and birds need protection in your garden. By planting dense spiky shrubs such as Hakea and Banksias, you can provide them the protection from predators.

  • Encourage birds to nest in your garden by providing nest boxes. Owls, Parrots, Microbats and Possums are some species which will make use of nestboxes.

  • If you own a cat, be sure that they wear a bell around their neck, if you wish to protect the wildlife in your garden.

  • Wildlife gardens can bring you endless hours of pleasure. You can watch your garden become host to nature with a large variety of wildlife visiting regularly.
