Hummingbirds are fun, entertaining, full of energy and it’s easy to attract hummingbirds.
1. How many wild birds at a time can eat at one bird feeder?
Depends on the size of the feeder
2. What bird would REALLY enjoy eating sunflower seeds?
Most larger birds like robyns and blue jays
3. Can a duck fit in a bird house?
If it is big enough
4. If u had a bird house do you think you would get a owl in it?
Most likley not
5. What bird is the prettiest to you?
Humming birds
1.it depends at the size of the bird feeder i would say from 6-12
2.a parrot.
3.no ducks cant live in bird houses they have to live in water.
4.no because owls dont awake in the afternoon or in the morning only at night.
5.The pretiest bird to me is a ruby throght humming bird.
hopes this helps!!!!!!!!!
1. depends on the size of the feeder.
2. I have bluejays in my yard that eat them, I would assume most larger birds would like them
3. If it is big enough, also needs a big enough entrance, we built a duck house when I was in school for the ducks in the school pond.
4. I honestly don’t know, it has never happened to me
5. hmmm…hard choice, cardinals & hummingbirds. I also like cranes & egrets (I live in FL)
1. It depends on the size of the bird feeder, as well as the size of the birds eating at it. I’ve seen upwards of 6 finches on one cylindrical feeder at a time. But for smaller feeders, maybe only one mourning dove or cardinal can fit at one time.
Cardinals, Titmouse, Chickadees, Blue-Jays (Not robins, they’re primarily insect and fruit eaters, not seeds) and most of your average finches will eat sunflower seeds.
2. Any "seed-eating" bird for the most part will LOVE sunflower seeds. They have a lot of fat, though – so you want to avoid only providing these, though you’ll probably find that seed mixtures containing few sunflowers will go through quickly because the birds will dig out the other seed to get to the sunflowers
3. Sure they can – but not all ducks nest in trees. Species like Wood Ducks, Whistling Ducks, etc., may use a nesting box if it is close to water and big enough for them to use. You can find website that give size specifications if you were interested in building one.
4. Most likely not – but again, it would depend. Owls, for the most part, don’t nest in cavities. Obviously there are exceptions to every rule.. but either way I think the probability is low.
5. I love the tropical rainforest birds of Indonesia and South America, but I’m also partial to Australian birds like Rollers. Though, I think Birds of Paradise top my list
1. How many wild birds at a time can eat at one bird feeder?
That would depend on the size of the feeder, and the size of the birds. I have a number of feeders in my yard, and the biggest one often has up to 10 birds in it at the same time.
2. What bird would REALLY enjoy eating sunflower seeds?
Blue Jays, Chickadees, Northern Cardinals, Nuthatches and finches all like the black oil sunflower seeds.
3. Can a duck fit in a bird house?
Not in the traditional birdhouse you think of as being in your back yard, but Wood Ducks are a cavity nester, and will use nesting boxes. You can read about them here: http://www.shawcreekbirdsupply.com/duck_boxes.htm
4. If u had a bird house do you think you would get a owl in it?
Only if it was designed for owls. Just like the wood ducks, some owls will use nest boxes. This site has links you can check out for various typres of owl nest boxes: http://www.owlpages.com/links.php?cat=Owls-Nest+Boxes
They have them for different types of owls.
5. What bird is the prettiest to you?
That is such a difficult question. I have seen so many really pretty birds, but I guess on of my favorites is the Common Yellowthroat. You can see it here: http://www.enature.com/fieldguides/detail.asp?source=&parkid=&searchText=&allSpecies=&shapeID=961&lshapeID=0&curAbbr=&lastView=default&lastGroup=1&lastRegion=&lastFilter=4&lastShapeName=&trackType=&curRegionID=&size=&habitat=&fruit=&color=&sortBy=family&curFamilyID=®ionSelect=All+regions®ionZIP=&curGroupID=1&lgfromWhere=&curPageNum=176
1. As many holes and perches are on it.
2. wood peckers LOVE diffrent seed glued together with this special glue.
3. if its big enough.
4.If it has the habitate the like around it.
6. I LOVE blue jays…Just not theire sonds..But i do also just ADORE Humming birds!!
And Keets!

I don’t know about the rest but as for the owl question ……
You can get specialy made owl boxes if you want owls nesting near you but I highly doubt they would use a regular nesting box, it would need to be extremly large.
1. Depends how big the bird feeder is.
2. There are several thousand species of them out there that REALLY like sunflower seeds.
3. If it’s built for a cavity nesting duck, like a Wood Duck.
4. If it were built for a cavity nesting owl, and I lived where cavity nesting owls lived.
5. Too many, can’t pick.
1. Depends on the size of the feeder.
2. Goldfinches, Titmice, Chickadees, Cardinals, Nuthatches, just to name a few.
3. If you have a duck-sized house (e.g., wood ducks are especially fond of houses, but they must be built to spec.)
4. Small owls, such as the screech, pygmy or saw-whet could fit into common-sized bird houses, but that would be a rare event.
5. I’d have to say the American Goldfinch.
