Birds have different diet preferences, and different species prefer different feeder styles. Pick a seed mix based on the birds you would like to encourage to your garden. The cheapest birdseed is often loaded with inexpensive fillers such as cracked corn, oats, or wheat. Visit your local pet food store to ask them for their recommendations. You may want to feed the birds leftovers from your kitchen but whilst bread may be made from grains, it is also heavily processed and is not good for the birds. The same goes with crackers and cake scraps. Did you know you shouldn’t feed ducks bread either?
Squirrels are quite a problem around bird feeders and can make it difficult for your birds to feed properly, make sure your feeder is up high and not jumping distance from your resident squirrel’s favorite tree.
