My feelings don’t get hurt. I do not want to see house sparrows at my feeders. Thank God I don’t get them but my sister in Massachusetts is all she gets. Horrible

From NE oklahoma. Not seeing the scissor tails in our area for quite some time. Any ideas?

Excellent video! Thank you so much for sharing. Texas Master Naturalist in training here 😊 I currently make my own seed logs and I place them on feeders that are too small/unstable for starlings. They try to perch to feed, but eventually give up. Additionally, planting native plants and shrubs will attract native birds with their natural food sources and provide shelter for nesting and protection from predators.

ah, great info

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

Looking for the total red headed woodpecker? Have they gone extinct?

My method for starlings used to be called a BB gun

I’m super late. Hello from Spring Hill, FL

I bought a homestead in Maine and the 1st year here I took an Adult Ed Woodworking class and made about 6 bluebird houses. Well not knowing a whole lot about the invasive English Sparrows, well they “Claimed all the houses!” Fast forward 29 years and retirement I started researching WHY even though I saw Bluebirds every year but never had been able to get any to nest in the houses. Even when I kept destroying the nests they would still reclaim all the boxes. My researching led me to NOT throw corn out for my chickens and actually I don’t throw scratch feed either. SO I decided to trap them. Immediately this year I had bluebirds and even this year in Central Maine they stayed overwinter. I am so glad that I trapped them this year rather than loads of them I’ve only seen one or 2 pairs and the Bluebirds are holding their own still claiming the same box they used last year.

I actively trap and destroy starlings. If left alone, i would be feeding nothing but starlings. Would people feel the same way about kudzu or knotweed?

Wow! I learned something new: didn't know about the long tongues of the red bellied wookpeckers and flickers. Thanks!

Great information Thank you

Our birds won't go near suet. So it just ends up just molding and getting gross after a while.

I have a cage feeder that has worked the best except when we had a young squirrel that could squeeze in through the bottom of the cage last summer. I had to take it down for a few weeks because he got stuck in there once when I was coming out to fill the feeders. Once he got a bit older he didn’t fit anymore. I have a squirrel buster feeder also but because the hangers on our pole are only about eight inches long the squirrels can hang onto the pole and lean over to scoop food out of the feeder without having to touch the metal perch that is supposed to close the feeder. When I am home I spend much of the day chasing squirrels off the pole. I have a baffle but they can jump six feet off the roof and land above the baffle. These critters can fly! I have a pole that has longer hanging rods but it can’t be put up until spring. They will probably find a way to outsmart it anyway. 🙄

Well while your at it maybe you should display bird proof feeds. lol like blue jay proof

I'm in the UK and have goldfinches in my garden. They will only go to the feeder with just nyjer seed, even though the other feeder has sunflower hearts and other small seeds. They are obsessed with the nyjer seeds and on really cold days sometimes just sit on the feeder for hours eating constantly. I'm thinking of mixing a few sunflower seeds in for extra nutrition after watching this.

Couldn't agree more

my favorite at the feeder. i add peanuts to the feeder and he/they hurry to get 1 or 2 before the blue jays suck up the peanuts.

We have a lot of Mockingbirds in central Okla year round. One spring, we had a nest of them in our neighbor's backyard. We couldn't go into our backyard without the Mockingbird immediately appearing and following us around. We named him Sentinel. It was pretty funny! Thanks for the tip about the suet recipe! We have Carolina Wrens also, so that sounds like a recipe birds here will love. We named our backyard 'Birdzhaven'! Lol

Whats the best easy to open n clean golden finch tube feeder

Thank you for this video. Super helpful information!

Great video. A couple years I kept hearing a toucan sam sounding bird (like a tropical bird) I did research, found the sound/bird! Northern flicker. Funny cause I've lived here (central NC) 15 yrs never heard it before. Edit: was born raised in Raleigh. When I say lived here, I mean 20 mins E of Ral. 🐦

I remember buying perching feeders with the feed slots below the perch just for the gold finch to deal with the house finch driving off the yellow

We save the suet containers and pour bacon grease in them for a high energy treat. I only do suet in below freezing weather

I put out suet only in cold weather. I'm also a deer hunter and save all the suet off the carcas for suet. I'll cut it into squarish chunks and freeze in ziplocks. I don't spend a lot of time trimming it either. There will be some meat and connective tissue. What they don't finish my dogs are waiting patiently for. The store bought is a little softer at low temps so I'll try to put that out. We also feed a couple crows our kitchen scraps and our chickadees started coming out so now I put out some bread crumbs for them.

Oddly enough, by me, orioles come to suet feeders more than to the jelly feeder!

i use a crockpot

I have a pond I'm in Michigan even though frozen I have a heater coil that keeps a hole for oxygen for the fish...so the birds land on the ice and drink...so many birds

We went to a local farm that had pre cut Christmas trees and bought a few that were left over and surrounded are feeders! The birds loved the safety and keeping out of the weather.

Can you share a link so I can take a peek see if something that would work in my area.

What state are you located? I am in Upstate NY. Enjoy your videos! Thank

I've already stole all my neighbors's birds with your heated birdbath 🤎 the birds are in complete delight 🎉 With the birdbath I always have lots of birds even if my feeders are empty. Thanks for your content!

Great advice!

I have one bottom siding board on my house that's masonite the rest hardy plank, they like the masonite for some reason and have chewed it at the bottom, I was afraid I had termites there but didn't see any indication of them. Glad to find out its squirrels. Replaced it but they'll find something else to chew on.

where do they end up in the summer? canada?
