Well. I get lots and lots of different types because of the food I set out. It’s fun to be able to recognize what I’m seeing.

Here are a few birds and what you can have to attract them.
American Goldfinch — Sunflower kernels (pieces), Nyjer (thistle) and black-oil sunflower
Blue Jay — Whole peanut kernels and black-oil and striped sunflower seeds
Cardinal – Black-oil and striped sunflower plus safflower
Carolina Chickadee — Black-oil sunflower and striped sunflower
