Planting native plants, especially willows, cherry-genus, and oaks helps a lot, because they provide habitat and both directly and indirectly feed birds by feeding the food web. But if you don't have space for a shrub or tree, herbaceous plants are also great!

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
