One threat to habitat is the abundance of nonnative plants.  In urban and suburban landscapes, nonnative plant species are often preferred because they require little maintenance and do not attract damaging insects. By planting native plants, everyone can help native songbirds by providing natural food sources for resident and migratory species.
