Ive never had a bird feeder before. What is the best way to start?
A. In most areas, it’s fairly easy to attract hummingbirds. You can hang a feeder very near your window and enjoy watching these entertaining birds. Since they eat a simple solution of 1 part white sugar to 4 parts water, you don’t even need to buy any seed! It won’t be long before you will want to add a tube feeder to attract a variety of birds with black oil sunflower seeds. Then, of course, you will want a thistle feeder to draw the finches, and then………! Well, then refer to the feeding chart on our Bird Feeding Tips page to decide what other foods to offer. Be sure to offer a water source if possible.
