Birdfeeders

I was just talking to friend who lives in a large city and was commenting that she wished she could feed birds, but didn’t expect any visitors around her condo. This couldn’t be more wrong! Depending on where in the city a person lives, the urban dweller can certainly attract as many as 50 different species of birds. I suggested she put a small hanging platform feeder on her deck and experiment with different offerings. If you live near a park or have large trees nearby, it shouldn’t take long for many birds to discover your offerings. Start with sunflower seeds and add fruit, white bread crumbs and peanuts and see what happens in a few days. I bet you will be surprised to see birds you didn’t even know where in the area. If you want to avoid the mess of broken hulls, use sunflower chips and hulled millet in the platform feeder.
