My garden is full of birds. The neighbour forgot to trim his huge tree one year and it was full of bird nests.

Birds are left with no place to live near / in cities if there's so little gardens and trees.

But put some water, grass and trees and birds show up.

Having a water source is also huge. Saw migratory birds too, multiple years.

I don't think it's on purpose or not but our small towns and back yards are just not welcoming for nature. If there's a little room, animals do come.

But real estate is all about room! People need to keep storing stuff. My neighbors on basically all sides keep building sheds and extending their homes. Pretty soon they will have no grass to speak of. But plenty of room for storage.
