Birdfeeders

If you are just beginning to feed birds or want a greater variety of birds to visit your yard, one easy food to try is plain white bread. Even though it has little nutritional value, birds seem to love it. At this time of the year, there is plenty of natural food available to birds, so our bird feeders holding seed don’t necessarily attract many birds. We add broken up pieces of white bread to our hanging platform feeder which also holds sunflower chips, whole sunflower seeds, millet and a few peanuts. We have regular visits from grosbeaks, acorn woodpeckers, mourning doves, towhees, finches, nuthatches, chickadees, sparrows and of course jays. We don’t like to put the bread on the ground because it also attracts 4 legged critters, but our hanging platform feeder works well.
