Birds

Birds are opportunists. They'll want to find food that's easy to eat and doesn't take much effort to collect. Birds hope to find meals that are easy to consume and won't interfere with their daily routine. This is why more and more birds prefer to stay close to the ground when they are picking up worms or insects. This is why many people wonder about birds eating fleas because they are also found on the ground.

A variety of birds, most of which are small, can help keep fleas and other pests away. If you can somehow lure them into your yard, they will peck around the grass and kill the fleas one by one. Placing a bird feeder tray is a great way to invite these birds to visit your yard. And if you're worried they'll only be interested in the seeds you've put in their food tray, you'll be happy to know that seeds only make up about 10% of their total food intake.

Starlings, nightingales, and doves are some notable predators of fleas. Birds love to eat fleas because they are a good source of protein and iron. While birds often pick berries or other fruits, birds also often forage for insects on the ground. Birds that eat more fleas will feel fresher and fuller. This is due to getting additional calories from eating fleas and enjoying the nutrients contained in the meal.

Birds are also great for controlling flea populations naturally. Birds will help you repel fleas and other pests such as ticks, bed bugs, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, and lice.
