Where to place a bird feeder?

Birds brain work and a defensive level. There are lots of predators out there, so birds will stay off the open areas and close to bushes and trees. Place the feeder next to these natural formations, under a tree branch and next to some shrubberies. When places next to some protective cover the feeder is more likely to attract birds. Make sure however that cats cannot sneak on to the birds and jump on the feeder, cats like to wait in ambush next to vegetation. Allowing some space between a potential hiding place and the feeder can save a birds life.    

Birds also like to follow other birds. Where ever other birds see some activity in the area you can be sure they will come to investigate. For them the crowd signals lunch, and it will attract more of them. When you start feeding birds, you have to be patient, let them discover the feeder little by little. It can be up to two weeks before you see the first bird, but once they learn of its location, they will stop by every day. If you keep offering seed, you will be amazed how many different species will show up. Winter is specially a good time to feed the birds,

Most of the birders have noticed that even the best bird feeders have wasted seed.  When the birds start to eat some of the seed falls on the ground. A lot of bird seed is wasted in that way, and more costly at the end.

Can I Recycle Birdseed?

There are more then one reason why recycling bird seed can have great benefits to the environment and your monthly cost.

•  Lower Cost: By recycling the birdseed after you offered it to the birds, you are able to reuse some of it again, saving some of your money at the end of the month.

•  Attract More Birds: by recycling bird seed, you are able to attract more birds with less cost, in the end more birds get to eat that tasty snack from your feeder.

•  Reduce Your Carbon Footprint: Recycling seed helps in one important thing , you reduce your monthly carbon footprint that has immediate effect on the environment. Because you waste less food, and don’t need to buy new seed, in the end less seed is being transported by trucks or other transportation on your behalf.

Three Ways to Recycle Birdseed

Recycling is not  hard, these three ways are so easy then all backyard birders can do it. 

1. Use Seed Catchers: Installing seed catchers are one of the most easiest ways of recycling seed. If you can afford it buy a commercial seed catcher that can be mounted under  a feeder. You can also use some kind of plastic container that can be placed under the feeder, once some seed has accumulated you can reuse it again. Get a container at least twice the diameter of your original feeder, this way bird seed can fall inside. 

2.  Allow Ground Feeding: By placing a platform feeding station under your original feeder you provide ground feeding birds like doves and dark-eyed juncos to finish the fallen seed. Ground feeding birds will often come to  eat under the hanging feeders, and giving them a platform makes it much easier for them. If you have grass under your feeder, you may think of making s small clearing to make it more accessible. 

3. Feed the Squirrels: Nobody likes the squirrel jumping on the feeder and taking the seed out. If you catch the seed drooped by birds, you can simply offer it to the squirrels on the side. Get s small container and place it on a visible lace away from your feeder where you know squirrels will find it. 

Tips for Recycling Birdseed

•  The best is to choose your seed selection based on the birds you want to attract, if you offer seed your local birds will not eat most will just pick through the good stuff.

•  Offer leftovers from your kitchen table, but make sure it is not bad for the birds. Birds will love all the scraps that you can provide, fruit, vegetables and even bread can be offered in moderation.

•  Check your bird feeders often to be sure that the seed holes are not closed or damaged by squirrels. Damp can damage the seed quickly and seed must be replaced if it gets wet.

•   If the seed has fallen to the ground leave it there, once it touches the dirt it is contaminated, better leave it for ground feeding bird to finish it off.

•   Make sure raccoon, bears and other animals don't get to your seed catchers under the feeder. These animal can destroy your attempts to recycle in a few seconds.

Recycling birdseed Recycling birdseed can save you money, benefit the environment and provide your fatherly friends with more food on the table. Recycling is a friendly and economical way to feed wild birds. While it may take some new ideas and innovation to get it right, you will soon be feeding more birds with the seed that you already have.

Why attract birds?

Feeding birds is a fun and perfect way to enjoy nature. The birds today are loosing their natural habitat because of human development and it is just going to continue. Human population is growing every year, and we need space for our cityes.  Animals and birds can learn to coexist next to us, like pigeons, sparrows, and other birds. Some of them are even benefiting in urban areas. We can give back by installing a small bird feeder and the birds will love you for it. You can read about what bird seed is best for your backyard birds.  

The ideal backyard best bird feeders are strong enough to resist all weather conditions. Wind, rain, snow, sun or squirrels will not damage a good bird feeder. When looking for one make sure it is easy to refill , clean and assemble. Even the best bird feeders for sale can be damaged over time, but the good one will last for years. 

If you want to maximize your bird watching hobby, get more than one bird feeder, several different Amazon bird feeders will attract more birds to your yard. Over time you can see that some birds don’t use the same feeder types, clinging birds will hang out on the mesh feeders, while perching birds will chose the perch feeder.

Benefits of bird feeding

The first benefit every birder gets from feeding birds in the backyard is a colorful and cute display of life that starts to visit every day. The more variety of seed and food you have, more types of birds you attract. From chickadees, sparrows, doves, and much more, you can even keep track daily. Feeding birds brings colors, songs and joy to an empty backyard, and once you start your hooked.

Insect Control:  Birds come to bird feeders for a snack, and love the seed that is provided for them. But some birds are insect eaters and will keep an eye on those spiders, worms and other stuff in your garden. You are feeding the birds, and they in turn provide you with natural pest control with little need for toxic stuff like chemicals people spray their plants.  

Weed Control:  Most of the birds love seed, and it makes most of their diet. Finches are known to feed on seed and will often after visiting your feeder make a stop to eat weed that grows next to it. One more benefit from bird feeding.

Flying Pets: People can become attached to some birds, and even recognize their unique markings and behavior. Think of it as a pet bird that you keep out of the cage, and if you go to vacation you don’t have to bother your friend to take care of. I love the fact that my backyard pets are free to come and go as they like.  

Offering a Helping Hand: And don’t forget that the birds are benefiting the most from your bird feeder. In winter, spring, and summer, birds face different challenges. Cold, predators, other birds competing for nest places, are all our flying friends are struggling with daily. And a few seeds go a long way when you have to feed 5 chicks in the nest.  

Winter bird feeding is maybe the most common time when people start feeding wild birds. This is a great time for many to interact with nature, and most think of it as a time to help their fatherly friends. But what influence this have on the environment? Is backyard feeding helping the birds? Some studies show that one third of the households in the U.S. feed wild bird at some point in a year. This can have a potential huge impact on the environment, but is it good?

Number of studies conducted in the past show some positive impact of backyard bird feeding. This was evident after some bird species did get monitored over the course of a year. Winter survival was enhanced when birds had access to bird feeders.

A study was conducted during winter and a number of birds monitored in Wisconsin. The study showed that black-capped chickadees that lived near bird feeders and had regular access to bird seed had much higher survival rate (69 percent) as compared to the other group that lived in the area without access to human installed bird feeders (37 percent survival rate)    

This impact is not visible in spring, summer and autumn, when temperatures are higher, but in winter when subzero temperatures arise. Young and Inexperienced birds perish easily in harsh conditions, but access to food can sustain even the weakest of individuals. Since human settlements are expanding and wild life habitats shrinking, animals can benefit from some additional help.
