Bird Suet Cakes Are the birds in our neighborhood snooty?

Question by Bird of Paradise: Are the birds in our neighborhood snooty?
We were feeding them sunflower seeds and other large seeds, and birds from all over the neighborhood were flocking to our bird feeders. We saw a variety of species. Our backyard was the hot spot for birds, and we had as many as 20 at a time.

Then, we switched over to the small seeds, since the bigger ones were too expensive, and they were going fast. Suddenly, the birds stopped coming around, except for one or two. The whole neighborhood is covered in snow, and I can only imagine that food is scarce. Are they mad, or protesting in their own way? Before, the birds would wait for us to fill the bird feeders with the big seeds, so they anticipated our actions. Would they rather go hungry than eat the small seed?
