In my backyard I have a sturdy feeder filled with sunflower seeds. Once in a while it gets empty. OMG! Time to fill the feeder again. The chickadees seem to know me as the man with the stepladder and the sunflower seeds. I love the fearless, un-self-conscious little scalawags.
What the hell. I keep filling the feeder. The chickadees keep coming back to feed.
Nuthatches come in too, upside-down!
Bird feeders can be highly entertaining. For real enthusiasm, I suggest planting a bush or tree with berries that ferment in the fall, and let the games begin! (In my case, it's madrona.)Originally Posted by dado potato
It is about time to put seed in my feeder. I stop in late June when the first clutch of chicks is well on its way as the sparrows eat non-stop. This also discourages the squirrels and chipmunks.
I usually start in the fall when most migrating birds have left and the winter birds return. I need to put out my suet block as well. Do you feed suet blocks?
