SECTION THREE: SITE PREPARATION
It is a good idea to stake out the exact size of the habitat on the site where you plan to put it. This will help to place it in a convenient spot and let you see how much space it will take up. You can evaluate all of the perimeters mentioned previously such as sun, wind etc. in the specific area you have chosen.
You will also want to consider landscaping both for sound control and for privacy for the birds and you. I like to either place the habitat in an already planted area or plan to add a plant barrier around the habitat. Of course the type of plants that you use for this purpose should be thick, quick growing and suited to your climate. In a colder climate this means evergreen plants but in subtropical areas you will have much great choice.

Habitat Landscaping
Landscaping will give the birds a feeling of well being and filters the sun in summer helping to keep them comfortable. Some birds will enjoy eating the blossoms if you plant edibles like hibiscus.
