advice and benefits of encouraging birds into gardens

What can I do to encourage birds into my garden? What are the best bird feeders and water features to include in a garden to increase birds coming and going? Is it beneficial to birds, the eco system and the environment to allow this to happen?

"Tall bird feeders far from trees and bushes to prevent squirrels stealing the feed, replace water regularly to stop dirt build up"

"Depending on what birds you want to attract, different birds prefer different food.
Once the birds know the feeder is there, they will always visit.
Try different feeds & its trial & error.
Water features can be expensive but I wouldnt spend to much"
