Question by HK: How do I attract a greater variety of birds to my bird feeders?
I live in the Midwest and enjoy feeding the birds. I feed sunflower seeds, suet cakes, thistle, and sugar water. I also have a bird bath. I get a nice variety of cardinals, sparrows, chickadees, finches, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, and even an occasional duck — but is there something could offer to bring in rarer birds? Like Orioles? Bluebirds? Doves? More? I live near a creek, greenway and several large, heavily wooded parks.
Thanks — all your answers are great; I’ll give them a try. Unfortunately, I can’t leave a thumbs up — “Pollice verso” — for all of you as a “Level 1,” but if I could, I would.
Best answer:
Answer by the truth
The more types of feed the better chances you’ll have.
Google what those birds eat and buy it or make it.
Habitats are also helpful so google what makes them feel more at ease and create it.
For example: I get more birds at my feeder hanging 10 feet off the ground from a tree than I do on the feeders that are in the middle of the yard on stands attached to posts in the ground.
Habitat and what they eat…goggle it for each bird you want and do what it suggests and you’ll have a few more species coming around.
