I want to THANK Shelia_FW for the great idea and drawing for the extension for my wooden bird feeder. It WORKED!!! I also ordered a metal baffle for the 4" X 4" post to keep the squirrels out of the bird feeders. (I am putting up a feeder designed just for squirrels so they don't feel left out! (A Christmas gift from 2 years ago.) I picked up a suet basket and tube feeder because I got free shipping if I ordered more. It would have been about the same price either way, so I figured it was better to get more items than pay for shipping charges!

And then when I was at Wal-Mart buying bird seed, I found one of those flat feeders with a screen bottom. I really like that idea, so picked one of those up for less than $10. I think I am ready to open the Bird Cafe. I hope so......cause now I am broke! LOL

Here's what my first Bird Cafe looks like. Kind of bizarre, but hopefully the birds won't mind.

Any ideas how to get them to come to my feeders. Do I just add seed and wait? Or is there something I can do to entice them?
