Hummingbirds are fun, entertaining, full of energy and it’s easy to attract hummingbirds.
The only feeder I have is a hummingbird feeder and there’s always hummingbirds fighting over it. There’s plenty to go around but they don’t want to share.
I clean my parakeets cups on the ground, there is a small patch without grass growing and add a little to it. I have several doves that come to scratch around morning and evening, sparrows, cardinals, mockingbirds, and wrens. Many others, and I will put watermelon or other fruit out for them when I have it, and cantaloupe seeds too. In the winter before a storm I make cornbread and crumble it up for the snow birds, red birds, blue jays , doves and others. I also leave them flax seeds, lentils, wheat, etc. They know my deck and start scouting around before the storm moves in.
Yes. The ones that look like squirrels.
Yes. Usually it’s the hungry birds that tend to visit.
When I have a feeder , I get the finches like you, English sparrows , a sparrow I haven’t been able to identify , and chickadees, juncos, and quail on the ground under the feeder .
Hi Adam… We have 2 feeders and we get zillions of birds too numerous to mention.
We also have a deck railing that I drilled 10 holes in (5/8 diameter into which we place ‘peanuts in the shell’ for Blue Jays.) Sometimes it seems endlessly.
If you should neglect ‘your duties’ they come screaming at the windows and doors until you put their ‘rations out’.
A few are now so tame they will almost take a peanut from your hand. We have been doing this for 6 years now and use up a couple hundred lbs. a year. Every fresh batch of babies learning to fly and scavenge for food is new and fresh entertainment.
(We occasionally get a few ‘huge’ crows whose beaks are so large they take more than 1 peanut at a time)
I live in a condo complex where we’re not allowed to have birdfeeders or birdbaths. But I do have a small tree on my patio, and every year mourning doves come to raise their young in it.
We get most of those but we also get a solid yellow small bird 2 or three times a year. I first thought he escaped but has always come back and I see it in winter also. What kind of bird is that in Kansas?
I also get the ones that look like squirrels!!
I watched a bluejay teaching it’s young to eat at the feeder, they first carried the food to a nearby tree and fed them but eventually the young ones came to the feeder.
