According to a report by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, more people feed birds than hunt or fish combined. In fact, 60 million people in the United States alone feed wild birds. The type of feed offered and the location of feeders will determine the species of birds that come to your back yard.
Set up your feeders in a quiet area of the garden close to trees so that they can fly to and fro. The most activity takes place in the first hours of daylight and an hour or two before dusk, so try to fill the feeders at midday, if possible. Try not to spill seeds and nuts on the ground as spillages attract rodents.
