Bird feeders
There are several factors to consider when you decide to feed birds in your backyard.
Where do you want your bird to see? A kitchen window ... A glass sliding doors opening onto the deck of a ... A second-floor window? Select an easily accessible place. If the weather is bad and most vulnerable birds, you can create a reluctant feeder which is not in a comfortable place near doors or windows that can be accessed for filling. Also, choose a location where discarded seed and bird droppings will not clean up the problem.
Place your feeder where the squirrels can not reach. Squirrels become a problem when they take over a bird feeder, birds scared away and discard all the seeds. Squirrels have the right to munch known through plastic and wooden feeders.
If you've seen squirrels in your neighborhood, it's safe to assume that they will connect you to visit. Think long and hard before you close something from a tree branch. The squirrel is very agile, and each connection may be a squirrel hanging from a tree that must be connected. In the long run, a squirrel-proof connection or a connection to a pole with a baffle is the most annoying solution. Squirrel-proof feeder is the most effective is the pole-mounted metal "house" type.
What kind of food should you feel used? The hands-down favorite birds sunflower seeds. This is interesting cardinals, Woodpeckers, Blue Jays, goldfinches, purple finches, chickadees, titmice and nuthatches. Get the black sunflower seeds, some seed oils. They prefer birds to sunflower seeds and the gray-white striped candy sold on the shelves for people, because they are higher in oil content. They are softer shelled, and easier to open. They are also cheaper than the children of gray and white.
