Refill your feeders only once per day. Birds are very skilful at finding food. Natural food sources come and go during the year, so birds are always looking for new supplies. Birds are unlikely to starve if you stop feeding birds in your backyard. They'll look elsewhere.
As the seed is consumed at the ports, more seed replenishes them through gravity. A tube feeder is filled by removing the top cap and pouring the bird food into the tube.
Visibility: Position the feeder in a spot that is visible from your home, ideally near a window. Shelter: Place the feeder near natural cover, such as shrubs or trees. Distance from Predators: Avoid placing the feeder too close to areas where cats or other predators can easily reach the birds.
Filling up the seed container is super easy! You can access the seed container from the rear hatch. To make refills even easier, we included a seed scoop with a handy spout with every order. The scoop holds approximately 2 cups (16oz) of seed: it takes about two scoops to fill the seed container if it's empty.
A mat would work, but a ``seed hoop'' might also work. They are a sort of screen/mesh tray that hangs underneath the feeder by strings. If you're in a crazy windy area this won't work but short of that the hoop might be a viable option.
You can offer birds a variety of foods such as seeds, suet, fruit, and mealworms. Common bird seeds like sunflower seeds are popular, but different species have varied preferences, so a mix can attract a diverse range of birds. Ensure a clean and safe feeding environment.
Your options are twofold: Place feeder and birdbaths within three feet of the nearest window so that birds don't hurt themselves upon liftoff; or place them more than 30 feet away so that feeding birds have plenty of space to clear the house.
Place a Bird Feeder and Birdbath Nearby They need access to food and water, too. Although you don't want the bird feeder too close to the birdhouse, it should be within easy access for the birds.
Feeding wildlife is illegal in California. Section 251.1 of the California Fish and Game Code states that feeding a wild animal can be considered animal harassment.
