Feeders should be placed at various heights around your garden. This is especially important if there are cats or other predators in the area. Although many birds will feed off the ground, if all your feeders are placed too low you may have trouble convincing them to come.
Feeders should be a minimum of 25 feet away from the house to deter mice. We had the same problem...
Before getting to specific location suggestions, first think about your windows. Window glass reflects plants and sky, which can confuse birds. To minimize birds hitting your windows (which can birds), feeders should be either within three feet of a window or more than thirty feet away.
I try to not put any feeders closer than 50 feet from a bird house. Depending on the bird species you're wanting to attract to a house you may need more space; or at least on a different side of your house.
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.
Keep it all the way. Open. And there you go all right.MoreKeep it all the way. Open. And there you go all right.
Some feeders are designed for smaller birds and have features like weight sensitive perches that close off to heavier birds. This clever design means only lightweight small birds can access the feed, making them a great option for those who want to attract small birds to their garden.
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.
Feeding birds in winter or summer or any time of year is a good thing to do. It will not disrupt any migration. In your area there are resident birds, the ones that don't go anywhere. They live where you do, all year round. They need food.
