Birdfeeders

Having bird feeders in the yard reminds me of eating jelly beans - one just isn’t enough. After you have put up that first feeder, be it a hummingbird feeder, tube feeder, or hopper feeder, you notice birds coming to your yard. What if I put up another kind of bird feeder? Ok, we have lots of hummingbirds coming to the hummingbird feeder, so now add a tube feeder filled with black-oil sunflower seeds. Soon you have finches, jays, etc. visiting. That’s pretty cool. Now if you add a low platform feeder and some millet - here come the quail, towhees, mourning doves, etc. The most inexpensive addition is suet feeders. They are also small, so adding a couple of them is easy. Now, how about a bird bath? See what I mean? It’s so much fun to see the variety of visitors that one is simply not enough.
