Just like humans, birds must fulfill their basic needs to survive. If you can provide food, water, and shelter, they\u2019ll start congregating around your lake home. Food is an excellent place to start. Since different birds prefer different seeds, the question of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/how-to-choose-the-best-birdseed-386541\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to choose the best bird seed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> depends on the types of birds you\u2019d like to attract. If you want to bring in multiple species, diversify your seed types. \u201cMake sure you use a variety of foods and clean regularly,\u201d Dr. Avery advises, \u201cAs you increase the number of seed types, you should see an increase in species variety.\u201d When choosing a feeder, remember to follow <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/feederwatch.org\/learn\/feeding-birds\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guidelines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ,so your birdseed doesn\u2019t attract predators.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-set-up-a-bird-bath\">Set up a Bird Bath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dan-wayman-zv7MSuItkmE-unsplash-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dan-wayman-zv7MSuItkmE-unsplash-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dan-wayman-zv7MSuItkmE-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dan-wayman-zv7MSuItkmE-unsplash-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dan-wayman-zv7MSuItkmE-unsplash-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dan-wayman-zv7MSuItkmE-unsplash-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Birdbaths are not just for decor.

This means that you will have to commit to changing the water every few days and cleaning with a scrub brush every few weeks.\u201d In the winter, purchasing a heated birdbath will attract birds to your lake house. When most of their water supply is frozen, they\u2019ll quickly gravitate towards the warm water. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-litter-some-leaves\">Litter Some Leaves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/zlatko-ivancok-2IyXVHTOg9o-unsplash-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/zlatko-ivancok-2IyXVHTOg9o-unsplash-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/zlatko-ivancok-2IyXVHTOg9o-unsplash-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/zlatko-ivancok-2IyXVHTOg9o-unsplash-768x1154.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/zlatko-ivancok-2IyXVHTOg9o-unsplash-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/zlatko-ivancok-2IyXVHTOg9o-unsplash-1363x2048.jpg 1363w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/zlatko-ivancok-2IyXVHTOg9o-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1704w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all birds rely on feeders. Species like starlings, doves, and quails typically search for their next meal on the ground. To attract these birds, try raking fallen leaves underneath your shrubs to create mulch.

This need for cover will drive them away from a barren yard and closer to one filled with trees and shrubs at varying heights. \u201cHaving some vegetation and cover will enhance your feeding and viewing opportunities,\u201d Dr. Avery says. \u201cWe tend to clear the shoreline of vegetation<\/span>, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but this makes it less likely you will have wildlife on your property.
