Bird Feeder?
I've had bunches of bird feeders but squirrels eat the food. I've tried those bird feeders that squirrels 'can't get on' but they still do!!! What should I do?
I think there is a hot pepper spray you can put on the seeds that squirrels will not eat. I've never used it because the squirrels get buck shot # 6 at my feeder. I hate squirrels because they eat my pecan nuts.
How can I attract birds to mybird feeder?
I put up a bird feeder a couple of days ago, and not one single bird has come near it... I tried putting bird seed on the ground and I was successful in getting the attention of some blue jays, but they avoided the feeder... Does anyone know why birds are avoiding my feeder? Does anyone know how to get the birds to feed from my feeder? Should I buy a bird bath? BTW I live in south Florida....
Just keep it full of seed and give it time. It took about a month for the birds to really get used to our feeder. Our bird feeder is usually only busy early in the morning. Btw... try a dish of peanuts... blue jays love peanuts... A bird bath can't hurt if you want. It's fun to watch them come get drinks and clean themselves. ... west-central florida
Where is the best place to puta bird feeder?
We hung our new bird feeder on a ceiling hook on our back deck, however we haven't seen any birds come to it yet. I tried resting the bird feeder on the ledge of our deck but no dice. The only tree we have on our property is a small tree in the front yard, but I would love to keep the bird feeder in the backyard. How can I get birds to come to it?
Since you say you have no tree with branches close to where you want to enjoy the birds, hang your feeders on the feeder poles they sell at Wal Mart, or Home Depo. They can have up to 4 prongs on them, and you can hang two or three different feeders for different birds, and save one for a bath/waterer that you can buy to hang close by food. I have several in my yard, and different birds are here now that it's winter than were here in spring and summer. I even hung a globe with nectar for hummingbirds. The first place I hung it, none ever came. I gave it a try later in the season, and in a different place, and viola! We had hummingbirds right in our kitchen window! I hung the globe on one of those window hooks, and we could wash dishes and watch them fight for nectar rights not 2 feet away! And if we opened the window, we could hear their wings.. it sounds like a big bee closeby, and their 'song' is a squeak of sorts. Just keep offering different kinds of foods for the birds in your area, and you might want to invest in an inexpensive bird book, so you can identify all the birds that will find your feeders! I have seen 19 species in my yard, not 5 feet from my car port where I have a rocker where I sit and watch them. You might also keep in mind that you will get free growth from the seed at the feeders. I put my feeders in my front flower bed the first time, and ended up with all kinds of stuff growing! I had some of the prettiest sunflowers in my yard from free growth out of the feeders. So put them where you can just mow down any unwanted growth from your seed scatter, and enjoy!
