For those who may live in the suburbs and know only one way of maintaining your property (lawn mowing it every week) consider this: If you take a spot in your yard of any size maybe 2 ft by 2ft or more, feel free to fence it off with some kind of border to give yourself permission to treat this space differently, and you just let it grow a season, the grasses will get tall, a few may reach your chest, they will sway in the wind, they will form heads of a grain, and then they will start to turn brownish. And it is about that time that if you pay enough attention, you will spot a bird that you have never seen before. It will be small enough to land on a grass stalk, and it will nibble and peck at the seed head that has formed. It will enjoy a meal in your tiny grass square. And if you watch, it will return through the season.
