I very much enjoy wild birds. I have lots of vintage bird prints hanging in home and of course lots of my favorite garden flags and house flags are decorative bird flags. We try to cater to birds in our back yard. We have cardinals that sit on the powerlines overhead that I swear are fussing at me until I put out food. My favorite are the bird baths, we keep 3 or 4 full at all times. I love to watch them splash around in the water. They look like they are having such fun.
While feeding and offering the bird baths are great fun for us. I started reading recently about the drawbacks of this after a couple years ago when House Finches started showing up at our feeders with a crusty coating that was affecting their eyes. I found out it is caused by bacteria that is often picked up at feeders and bird baths. It is so very important to keep these clean. Bird droppings and molding seed contribute to this bacteria. Cleaning feeding and watering containers and the area around them, including picking up old seed from the ground, helps to prevent the spread of all the contagious diseases birds carry. Here is some good information and tips from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
While you are enjoying your backyard birds here are some nice bird garden flags to add to your outdoor decor. These can all be found at Custom Flags and Gifts.

Personalize Your Summer Garden Flag
Summer is such a wonderful time of year and the variety of summer garden flags out there help to express that. To me decorative flags help you express your personality and interests. Depending on what you enjoy doing most in the summer there are beach flags, bird flags, art flags that show beautiful flowers and garden flags with gardening themes.
To express yourself even further, why not go with a personalized flag or custom garden flag. A personalized summer garden flag makes your flag one of a kind. It can be personalized with first names, last name or a monogram. Some even allow more expression with full lines of text that can be customized to suit your taste.
We have a couple custom summer flags that are personalized with your name such as our Flip Flop Monogram Flag and our Ladybug Welcome Garden Flag.
We also personalize some of the garden flags and house flags that come from your favorite brands. Some of the personalizations are free, some require an additional fee.
This Welcome to the Lake garden flag by Custom Decor is very popular for personalizing. We also have a beach flag and pool party flag that you can add text and a name to.
We are always open to ideas for personalizing. If you see a flag on our site that we do not offer with a personalization please contact us and we will see if it is possible.
Thanks for reading
