Birds in urban yards and neighborhoods dominated by buildings and tiny yards, patios, or balconies need help finding food, shelter, and water. Especially if there are large parks, wooded streams, or other patches of habitat nearby, creating additional small patches of habitat or providing food and water can help the birds better survive and move across the otherwise hostile landscape.
Urban Birds to Help are those that are usually common in local woodlands or habitat patches, and that can be attracted and helped by creating additional habitat in a small urban yard.

You can make an even bigger impact on these birds if you get your neighbors to help you provide habitat for birds in their yards. For more information on how to help birds in your neighborhood see the Neighborhood Bird Conservation Workbook.
