Will hummingbirds come to feeders that also are attracting other kinds of birds? We have a backyard that attracts lots of birds and our feeders are kind of close together. Should the hummingbird feeders be a certain distance apart from other feeders? Thanks
I’ve seen 3 different woodpeckers coming to eat suet in the backyard which I love. One lives very close in a large tree. I have seen a pileated woodpecker at the park right down the road, is there anyway to attract one of those big guys?
Thanks

Hi.
In my yard, the only birds are crows. Is it possible that they keep the other birds away. If so, what can I do to change this slightly.
Thanks,
Sam
Trying to find out why birds are not feeding from my feeders. I have recently bought two feeders using a wild bird seed mixture. Neither feeder is touched. Also what birds are native to my area. Lowcountry of charleston sc. Help!!
Are birds attracted by different colors?
…by different sounds?
Are they less likely to visit a bird feeder with bells attached…or with certain colors?
What are desirable birds to attempt to attract to a back yard in North Texas? We have a nesting pair of Mourning Doves and Mockingbirds.
We want to start slow. We live in a neighborhood and do not want to bother the neighbors.

I really like this book, which lists a lot of Texas birds and also covers ways to attract them specifically. It is inexpensive, short, and very good.

Hello
My cat caught a bird today – I’d say it was bigger than a baby bird but certainly still in the nest – I got it from the cat’s jaws and the bird seems fine (hopping around, intermittent flying etc.). The reason I was alerted to the bird’s distress is that the parents of the bird were going crazy, squawking and swooping on my cat. But although the parents stayed around while I was fending off the cat, and scooping up the bird in a towel, and they stayed squawking on the nearest tree obviously trying to communicate with their baby for a good twenty minutes afterwards, the baby didn’t respond. I put the baby on our flat roof (safe from cats and with a wall around it) hoping the parents would come, but they have gone and left the baby there. So I came to your website in the hope of trying to get the parents – who must have territory nearby, but I don’t know where – to come back. Problem is, I am in the Middle East and shops are shut til Sunday so I can’t get birdfood. I’m planning to make a birdbath from an old bowl up there so the parents might be attracted by that and then see their baby – any other suggestions? I don’t have any of the seeds birds seem to like…any ideas welcomed!
