However, there are a few common mistakes that can make bird feeders in your garden deter birds, so it’s important to avoid them.
Lack of variety
Different types of bird feeders are suitable for different types of birds, so it’s a good idea to have a variety. These can include platform feeders, tube feeders and even feeders attached to your windows. This also gives birds places to eat away from predators – just make sure that there are no risks of the bird trapping themselves.
Vary the food you put in feeders too, as you will be more likely to attract a range of birds.
Buying cheap bird feed
It may sound strange that birds can differentiate between high and low-quality bird feed, but it’s often because cheaper bird feed has more filler in it that birds won’t eat. This could end up on the ground for unwanted visitors to your garden to snack on.
Forgetting to fill your bird feeder
If you’re going to commit to setting up a bird feeder, make sure to regularly refill it. Birds will learn that they can get food from your garden, and leaving it empty will make sure they do not come back.
By avoiding these mistakes, you should be well on your way to having a bird-filled garden.
