Helpful Tips
- Try not to put your bird feeders too close to your window, patio, balcony, deck. Birds are very skittish which means that they will fly away very easily if you come to close to them. Give them space to eat and they will stick around longer.
- Birds will start to come to your bird feeders in a few weeks. It takes time for them to know that your home is a source for food. So be consistent and patient.
- Once you notice that birds are coming to your house set up a bench or chair near a window or on your deck that is near your bird feeder and patiently wait. Be still and don't make sudden movements. Then you can get a real good look at them.
- Usually birds will come in the mornings and in the evenings, for breakfast and dinner. As you go throughout the week take note of what times then generally come as. This will allow you to know when to get ready to watch for them.
- Be careful of other critters who are wanting to get an easy meal. Racoons and squirrels are looking for food as well. Unless you don't mind these animals look for the bird feeders that help prevent these other animals from getting into the food you have put out. These animals will scare off the birds and you will not get to see them as much.

Food
Birds eat many different types of things. Different birds like different things, such as: seeds, berries, fruit, insects, other birds, eggs, small mammals, fish, buds, larvae, aquatic invertebrates, acorns and other nuts, aquatic vegetation, grain, dead animals, garbage, and much more! Some things are easier to obtain that others. Generally, various birds will come to your house if you put out seeds, nuts, berries, and fruit. Also, depending on how big your food is for the birds will reflect the size of the bird. So if you are trying to get bigger birds put out larger portions of fruit or nuts. If you are looking to attract small birds put out smaller fruit or seeds. Also, it is important to note that if the bird is not able to fit on your bird feeder they will most likely not take interest in sticking around to eat the food and allow you time to watch them. Birds are looking for the east meal. If it is too difficult then you may need to think about how you have set up your feeder.
