Bird House Feeder

Let’s face it, millions of us haven’t got gardens. We live in high-rise blocks or flats with no outside space at all, or maybe in the inner city with just a small yard. In which case, it is surely even more satisfying to be able to share our lives with birds. As it happens, quite a few species choose the “high life”. Swifts and House Martins nest in or under roves. Starlings in walls, Pigeons and Kestrels on ledges, Jackdaws down chimney stacks and so on. Added to which, a short vertical journey up a few stories is nothing to a creature that can fly, especially if there is easily available food up there. So, what I am saying is: don’t let the lack of a garden stop you feeding the birds. It you have a window box, seed can be scattered in it, or you can attach a small feeder or bird table. Even if you only have a window bird feeder, why not try a feeder on a bracket just outside it, or one of the small suction cup window feeders. Once the birds get used to them, you will be rewarded with some delightful close up view. These days there are feeders to suit every situation, and the birds will certainly appreciate them. And so will you. See: www.billsbirdfood.co.uk Mealworm crumble www.billoddiesbirdfood.co.uk Window bird feeder: www.billoddiesbirdfood.co.uk

My mother and I have recently gotten into birdwatching and gardening, and I would like to know what birdhouses are for. Do birds build nests in them? Also, what can I put on my windowsill to attract birds?

Oh, and if anyone has a list of the birds found in Southern California, that would be really great, thanks.

Ooh! And also, does a birdbath have to be shallow? My mom bought one that kinda resembles a flowerpot. Will this work? She claims to have seen some birds use it.
Ah, and do coyotes eat birds? We have a LOT where I live. I’ve seen a couple right next to my front door! My friend lives next door, and he has a cat. Is it OK to put bird feeders in the trees?
We have like, 5 birdfeeders in my tree x]
Thank you all, we have now put rocks in the birdbath.

The Tennessee Aquarium in downtown Chattanooga has 50 birds inside the River Journey building. They represent 20 native species and free-fly throughout the Cove Forest exhibit. As you can imagine, feeding them is a big job. But did you know that you have to be a top-notch chef with skills that include preparing and presenting these meals? Aviculturist Loribeth Aldrich describes being chef to the birds in this video. Learn more at www.TennesseeAquarium.org .

My husband and I moved into a house in a metro area that has many squirrels. At first I was delighted because I think squirrels are interesting and comical to watch. We also planted some tomato plants and other vegetation in our yard. I had two bird feeders that the squirrels could climb on and they would virtually knock the food out of the feeders and onto the ground. So I got a squirrel feeder and hung it up, and hung up a cylindrical bird feeder so they can’t jump on it. I just read online that squirrels carry parasites and fleas, damage trees, and reside in attics if your not careful enough. The trees that surround our house carry acorns so there is no real way of getting rid of them. I am also afraid that if I take away their food supply they will work on my vegetation eating it. So what do you do? Also I have a two year old that I take outside often to play, can he get fleas from the ground.

To clean a hummingbird feeder, use hot tap water and a bottle brush each time the feeder is refilled, and use a bleach solution to completely clean the feeder once a month.

This is one of our feeders. We have about 25-30 hummers feeding in our back yard this summer. We have 4 feeders. Notice that the 2 on the left are sharing the same feeding hole, which is amazing since they are so aggressive when it comes to their food source! ENJOY!

We have bird feeders in our yard, and this spring we added finch feeders. I love to watch them, but they’re constantly flying into our windows! We moved the feeders farther from the house but it doesn’t seem to have helped. None have been killed (I haven’t found any on the ground) but it sounds so horrible and painful. Plus, I have the screen out of one window so I can open it to take photos, but now I’m afraid they would fly in the window! Short of removing the feeders, or hanging something in front of the windows, (and blocking the view) does anybody have any suggestions?

See, I love animals and want to be a zoologist, and recently I’ve set up a couple of bird feeders in a very small grove of woods behind my our house. There are about 5 trees in the grove, and they’re set up sort of horizontally in front of a fence which separates our house and the neighbor’s. There’s barely any land near the trees.

The feeders (One suet cage, one squirrel-proof feeder, and one sock feeder), have attracted two downy woodpeckers, one female and one male. Yesterday, they were really close to our house on the suet cage, which we moved last afternoon.
They were both so close, and they didn’t mind me being close, but then I took one step too close and they fluttered away to tree in the largest part of our property. I started walking there, but in the distance, I saw the male take off and fly under the telephone wire to the other side of the street.

I didn’t see them for most of the day, and was worried they had left, but then I saw the female later in the day, and today I saw her again, on the tree, and then she flew onto the suet and started eating.

I have a couple Qs about them.

1) How do I keep the woodpeckers as pleased as possible?

2) Is it possible that the male left our house for good? I haven’t seen him since he flew off.

3) Is it normal to not hear the drumming away at the bark?

4) What’s the chance that they might lay eggs?

5) I’ve only really seen them in the morning. Is this normal?

I really need help, because I’d really love these animals living here full-time and need advice about them.
