Birdfeeders

The term sparrows covers a large group of small birds that can be quite difficult to identify by species for many of them look like “little brown birds”. They all have short, cone-shaped beaks that are perfect for cracking open seeds. This group includes Towhees, Juncos and Longspurs that are easier to identify, but for others, you need to closely observe colors and patterns. All of these birds can be regularly seen scratching at the ground looking for seeds, so short legged platform bird feeders are perfect to attract them. They usually are seen in flocks so they can make your yard a busy place. Millet and black oil sunflower seeds are their favorites, so we use these 2 seeds in our platform bird feeder. We often also add fruit, clean crushed egg shells and white bread crumbs so there is something for everyone. This platform feeder will also attract mourning doves, quail and other ground feeders.
