Colors That Attract Birds - And How to Use Them!
Best Colors to Attract Birds
Different birds are attracted to different colors. Individual bird species may see the “best” colors as indicating a food source. Other birds may be more attracted to the colors of their own plumage as those could indicate a potential mate or another bird that is surviving well.
Most bright colors, however, can be used to attract birds, with certain bird species being more attracted to particular shades.
- Red and Pink: Hummingbirds
- Orange: Orioles, hummingbirds
- Yellow: Goldfinches, warblers, hummingbirds
- Blue: Bluebirds, jays
Visual Devices
Another visual option to scare birds away is iridescent bird deterrent foil. You simply cut off strips and attach them to fence posts, trees or rooftops to scare the birds away. As the strips blow in the wind, they catch sunlight, producing constantly changing colors and patterns. And the tape itself produces a metallic rattle, unnerving birds with the sound too.
Thanks again !
