If you struggle to attract lots of birds to your yard, you might want to try the latest hack suggested by experts: dig a bare patch of soil for birds.
It's one of the most low-maintenance ways to feed birds, specifically ground feeders like American robins, Northern cardinals, sparrows, and more. Simply put, disturbed ground is easier for these winged creatures to forage from for food sources like seeds and earthworms. But, this isn't the only reason to dig a bare patch of soil for birds, as ornithologists say it can also help keep birds clean.
