Birdfeeders

The most successful way to have birds nesting in or near your yard is to supply nesting materials. The easiest way to do this is to use suet feeders to hold an assortment of desireable materials. A good assortment of string, straw, yarn, wool, feathers, bark, cloth strips, fur, moss, thread, etc. will cause lots of excitment among the nest builders! It’s very important to be sure none of the pieces are more than 3-4 inches long. We don’t want birds to get tangled in any long pieces. It’s also good to have a mud puddle for robins line their nests with mud. When nesting season is over, the suet feeders can again be filled with suet cakes as a ready food source for feeding nestlings.
