I’d like to set up a bird feeder, and I live in a suburb about 10 mi south of Boston. What I do not want to do is feed any invasive birds, like house sparrows, european startlings, or rock pigeons. Are there any seeds or suet cakes on the market that are rejected by these species? Are there any other tricks to feeding only native species? Thanks.

I just bought bird feeder, and I’ve filled it with sugar and syrup but no birds will eat it. How do. Attract the birds without the use of a bra?

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.

What shouldn’t be in the paint to be used? Is Xylene safe for them? Birds like to chew and bite on their cage. Is there any certain brand that would be okay? Where can I find paint that would be safe, and what is it called? Please list reliable sources. Thank you! Serious answers only, please. (=

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.

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.
