Many people purchase a birdfeeder or several to attract birds in their homes. Feeding Stations can enhance your garden’s beauty and attract different birds. You should research the feeding habits of birds before choosing the bird feeder you want. Hanging feeders are best for those who like to hold on while eating. A regular bird feeder can be used by those who are comfortable with a flat surface. Others will have to scratch the ground in order to hunt for food. A bird feeder is a good option.
Make sure to place your feeders on an open surface. Birds are cautious and prefer to view danger from a distance. A bird feeder in the open will attract many more birds than a feeder in a closed enclosure, e.g. The porch.

Place some Niger Seed on your flat-topped bird stations, and spread a few handfuls of it on the grass for those who feed on the soil.
