Your Bird Feeder
Posted by CE Webster on Aug 20, 2009
Bird feeders are a wonderful way to attract different birds to your yard. There are several factors to consider when trying to invite birds to visit your bird feeder.
First, what type of birds are likely to be in the area? This can vary by season. During the migration months you may have visitors early in the season and then again as they migrate back to their winter feeding grounds. You will also have the birds that are year round residents. You will soon get to know them.
Next, determine the type of food that the birds you want to draw are most likely to eat. Finches and sparrows eat seeds and grain. Hummingbirds sip on nectar. Tanagers eat fruit, while blue birds and woodpeckers will dine on insects. Seed mixes, hummingbird nectar, dehydrated fruit and insect products can all be purchased.
Now it’s time to select your bird feeder. Chose a feeder that will hold the suitable food. There are feeders that are designed to hold large or small seeds, some that will hold a syrupy nectar and others that have a small cage to hold a suet cake. Other factors to consider when purchasing the ideal bird feeder is the size, the ease of filling, and the ability to keep it clean. Plastic bird feeders are generally better than wood ones because bacteria and mold can form more easily on wood bird feeders.
Equally important, is the placement of your bird feeder. Never place it too close to buildings to prevent birds from flying into the windows. You may need to prevent squirrels from getting free meals at your feeder. There are devices available to eliminate this problem. Large birds need to have a landing area close to the bird feeder. Bird houses nearby increase the probability of birds using your feeder.
And finally, you need to determine your feeding strategy. Will you be feeding all year round or just during the winter? Do you plan on feeding daily? Knowing the answers to these questions will help you decide exactly what bird feeder you need.
Bird feeders can provide year round entertainment. You will be pleasantly surprised by the variety of birds that will be visiting your bird feeder. So when welcoming birds to your yard remember it takes more thought than just throwing some seeds in a bird feeder.
