Wow, definitely a contentious poll.

I am a strong yes. We grow native plants in our garden to support both berry- and seed-eating birds but also to support the insects that insectivores want.

We also have bird-feeders in the winter, which are apparently good for some species.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

There's a good list for helping native birds on NPR:
