		<description><![CDATA[For the most part, I try to be tolerant of squirrels. I have set up a feeder just for them with corn which they love and it often keeps them pretty occupied. However, when a squirrel decides to get into a bird feeder, it can empty a large feeder in no time at all. Baffles [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "What To Do About Squirrels?", url: "http://www.birdfeedersblog.com/birds/915-what-to-do-about-squirrels/" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 &#8220;little brown birds&#8221;. 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 [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Sparrows", url: "http://www.birdfeedersblog.com/birds/911-sparrows/" });</script>]]></description>

We have one tube bird feeder that is filled with only black oil sunflower seeds for that is the seed that is always the most popular.

		<description><![CDATA[Hopper bird feeders have a lot of advantages over other types of feeders. Generally, they hold more seed than tube feeders or platform feeders and they keep the seed dry and fresh. The most common type of hopper bird feeder is generally shaped like a house.

		<description><![CDATA[Tube bird feeders are a simple way to feed birds in your yard. The clear tube allows you to easily see when the seed is running out and these feeders are generally easy to clean. Because tube feeders usually have smaller perching areas, they generally attract small birds such as chickadees, finches, titmice and nuthatches. There are now [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Spiral Bird Feeders", url: "http://www.birdfeedersblog.com/birds/905-spiral-bird-feeders/" });</script>]]></description>

Their feathers provide remarkable insulation and some species even grow extra feathers for extra winter protection. The oil that coats birds&#8217; feathers provides insulation as well as waterproofing.
