What Type of bird food should I use?
We construct our bird feeders from one inch rough cut New Hampshire pine and use 2 inch deck screws to assemble them. A water base sealant is applied to the outside surfaces and roof shingles are applied to our larger models. A rubber seal is used to cover hinges. This is to minimize water leaking into the food chamber. A 1/8th” plexus glass is used for the food chambers, as this allows food monitoring.
Where should I place my bird feeders? (back to top)
First you may want to check with your local town office. Some town ordinances refrain from putting bird feeder up when bears are on the prowl. For tips on where to place your bird feeder please refer to our bird feeder placement guide.
Will my bird feeder attract other animals than birds? (back to top)
Yes, bird feeders attract anything from bears to morning doves. We have even had turkeys in the winter, so yes be ready for anything. Out of all the pests, squirrels and chipmunks are your worst menaces. Squirrel Baffles are the best device available to keep these pests away. Feel free to contact us with both your concerns and ideas for fending off these free loaders.
What Type of bird food should I use? (back to top)
Being the owners of several bird feeders it can get quite expensive at times. We have learned to buy the cheap wild bird mix and sun flower seeds. This seems to work for us. In one of our bird feeders we use sun flower seeds only. This works for blue jays, cardinals and various other birds of the larger type. In the remaining feeders we use the wild bird mix, this keeps the larger birds separated from your less aggressive and smaller birds. We have used the so called gourmet bird seeds which can get pretty pricey. This did not make a difference in the type of birds using our feeders. We also throw seed on the ground around the feeders. In doing this we get robins and other birds that tend to feed only on the ground. This also seems to keep squirrels and chip monks on the ground and out of our feeders.
