I’ve had a bird feeder for quite a few years now hanging in the same spot of the same tree the whole time. It was only until 4 days ago that I decided to refill it with birdseed. Since then, I haven’t seen one single bird, only an occasional squirrel. What can I do to attract birds? I was thinking that since I’ve kept the bird feeder there unfilled they might have habituated to it. Should I change the position?

I have a platform (shelf) feeder that suctions onto my apartment window. I want to repel the squirrels that jump down from the roof onto it. What could I build onto or around the feeder or the window to stop them (without stopping birds from visiting.). I am pretty crafty so I’m willing to buy any supplies and tools to build something. Thank you.

This is a wire "squirrel-proof" feeder. The squirrels climb out on the narrow metal pole holding the feeder up. I don’t have a tree branch for the feeder to hang directly from. Any advice? Thanks!!

The bird feeder hangs from a branch. I tried putting half of a milk carton on top of it, and it worked for a little bit, but then they managed to get through to it. Then I pored some caster oil on the carton hoping the squirrel would slip, but it didn’t work. Does anyone have any ideas? I know that this is a silly subject, but please give your serious input.

Like a window feeder perhaps? Please remember that birds won’t fly south for the winter if they find a steady food source – this means once you start feeding them, you have to feed them straight through to Spring.

This Humming Bird thinks it is the boss and will not let others feed at all. What can I do about this bird it sets all day long next to the feeder and does not leave.

Out of all the years we have had bird feeders in the yard we have never seen a woodpecker eat from one. They look pretty funny with their really long beaks. I have seen him getting worms/bugs out of the trees but never seed from the feeders. Not even from the suet feeder we have separate.
Any info would be appreciated

We have a bird feeder close to a tree stump and the cat perches on the stump and when birds come to the feeder it tries to jump on the bird feeder and get the bird.

I’d like to feed whole peanuts to the blue jays in my yard. Do any of you know of a good peanut feeder that is squirrel-proof? Thank you.
I live in an apartment so I can’t put up anything elaborate. I just need a simple feeder or a way to protec the feeder from squirrels. Thanks.
