Your Source For Bird Feeder and Bird House Information!
The best way to attract birds is to put up a bird feeder and a bird house as well! But the fact is, no one bird feeder is the same as the next, and the same holds true for the bird house. With so many on the market, which should you invest in?
The truth is that some are effective, some are not. Some are designed with the BIRDS in mind as the end user, some consider YOU the end user. Some serve specific purposes, some are general feeders.
Which model is best for you?
It Depends!!!
I know! This vague response is not what you are after. But it really does depend. Do you want to attract cardinals while driving off blue jays? But should you drive off blue jays given that they are an alarm bird, warning other birds when cats, birds-of-prey and other predators are around?
Or maybe the American goldfinch is more to your liking. But wow, he's finicky, picking and choosing just what, from where, and with whom he'll eat. In this pic, they're clinging to a metal mesh thistle feeder. Make no mistake, the American Goldfinch loves this style of feeder.
Already have Goldfinches? Wondering where they go in winter? Did you know the male molts, changing from a bright yellow to a duller olive green--he looks just like the female throughout winter!
And we all LOVE hummingbirds. But how best to attract him? Should you make your own nectar? Should you add artificial coloring? What is the most effective hummingbird feeder? How do you control ants? How do you control bees? How ofter should you change the nectar?
