While adding wind chimes to your garden and wildlife habitat may not necessarily attract birds, the wind chimes will bring elegance and serenity to the garden and outdoor environment that you work so hard to prepare for your feathered friends.

Wind Chimes are usually comprised of various metals, woods, shells, glass, or other materials and produce pleasant musical notes when wind blows such that the “chimes” bump each other. Careful consideration should be taken as to where you hang your Wind Chimes in order to ensure that they are heard as frequently as desired and that the people hearing them can appreciate your wind chimes (i.e. you do not want to annoy your neighbor).

There are a few factors to consider when purchasing a wind chime. One factor is the appearance of the wind chime and is it attractive to you. Some people like to have a model of a hummingbird, bluebird, or other type of wildlife with the wind chime. Another thing to consider is how the wind chime will sound. Different materials will make different musical chimes. More expensive wind chimes will generally produce more pleasant sounds and will be more durable.
