Plants for Birds: Central Nebraska Native Plant Guide

Your guide to choosing plants that benefit birds year-round
Attract and support your local birds.

Growing bird-friendly plants will attract and protect the birds you love while making your space beautiful, easy to care for, and better for the environment. Native plants, or those that are uniquely adapted to your local environment, will attract and support your local birds and insects much better than non-native plants. This is because native plants host far more caterpillars and insects than plants that are not from your local environment. They can also provide many benefits for birds year-round such as shelter, places to nest, and food resources such as seeds, berries, and nectar.
