Answer:
From a bird’s point of view, native plants are like Mom’s home cooking. They’re the tried-and-true foods that keep the birds coming back for more—the berries and seeds that bring in more bluebirds, orioles, goldfinches and a whole long list of other most-wanted species. Birds are already familiar with native plants, which make them a surefire attraction when their seeds or berries ripen. Rose-breasted grosbeaks, scarlet tanagers and about 150 other species recognize them at first sight and quickly descend to the waiting feast.
In terms of food offerings, seeds and berries are the most obvious to us, but birds are also attracted to something else on the plants that we may never even notice: insects. And native plants hold a trump card: caterpillars. Why should we care about caterpillars? Because they’re a prime target for parent birds who have to satisfy a nest full of begging beaks. Birds will eat berries and seeds from nonnative plants, but caterpillars are super-finicky, and themselves feed mainly on all-American trees, shrubs and flowers that serve as their nurseries. The birds are more than happy to pluck these crawlers from host plants like red-twig dogwood, blueberries and spicebush.
Insects aside, native plants also serve as building supply stores. To make their nests, birds collect twigs and dead leaves or needles from trees and shrubs, and strip fibers and bark from milkweed, Indian hemp, wild grapevines and other natives.
Native plants form symbiotic bonds with birds because the fliers get a bounty of food and in return spread seeds to sprout into new plants. But natives are a big win for us gardeners, too. They are generally hardy, dependable and low-maintenance and require no coddling to thrive and attract birds.
Lately, “native” has become a selling point, a buzzword of sorts, splashed across every plant that originated anywhere in North America. That’s not very helpful, because many natives are very particular about where they’ll grow. The saw palmetto of Florida is an American native, but it’s not going to be happy in Minnesota, nor will Minnesota’s balsam fir feel at home in Florida.
If you’re just getting started planting natives, daisies are a good start to a garden for the birds, because each flower will hold scores of seeds for foraging goldfinches and other friends. All-American native daisies include sunflowers, native asters, black-eyed Susans (avoid Goldsturm, a variety that rarely sets seed) and coneflowers. All are top targets of seed-loving birds. Unless you know what’s native to your region, look for widespread natives, those that naturally grow across a big swath of North America. Adaptable enough to flourish in a variety of soils and conditions, they’re a good bet for most gardens.

STEVE AND DAVE MASLOWSKI
Steve and Dave Maslowski Coneflowers are a perfect fit in any native bird garden, and birds like bluebirds love the seeds.
It’s easy to fill a whole native bird garden with nothing but flowers for birds. Every sunflower, whether it’s fluffy Teddy Bear, skyscraper Russian Giant or a waterfall of perennial Maximilians, got its start as a native plant. So did our purple coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and that colorful edging of Profusion zinnias.
It’s the flowers that catch our eye, of course. They grab the attention of birds, too, but not because they’re beautiful. Birds look a little deeper—to the food these plants provide. Titmice, chickadees, wrens, orioles, tanagers, vireos and other friends will patrol the plants when the flowers are blooming to pick off the pollinating insects attracted to them. Once the seeds ripen, these plants really blossom as bird attractors. Goldfinches often arrive as soon as the first few seeds mature, even while the plant is still in bloom.
