How do you attract birds to a new feeder/SunFlower heads

Funny Deb, Like Rose said priceless.

LOL, Oh another one out at the bird feeder in their pajamas! Very good!

Yep, out in the jammies is how it is done! :-)

Always in my pajamas at the feeders! :)

Pajamas are standard bird-feeding attire ... especially if you're up before the birds.

Hope you're doing well Depsi!

I moved Bob's post from daily pics to this thread since he was getting no answers...can one of you help?

Thanks Resin and pelletory. The feeder is about 13"X13". I forgot to add that about 5 minutes after the hawk left the feeders were back. Also within the last half hour we've had a number of western bluebirds looking at the bird house. Saw them last year when snow was on the ground too, but were told they weren't supposed to be hear in the winter. We've learned the bird house we currently have up is not adaquate for nesting due to size and design. Should we just take it down or plug hole and leave it? We've purchased a blue bird house and I intend to pattern a couple more like it to be placed further away from the feeding area when the weather gets better, any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Hi Depsi, You can leave the other house up for winter roosting.

Blubirds love mealy worms so you'll probably want a feeder that can accomodate that size bird but not larger. Heres a good worm feeder; its expensive but the BB's really like it once their used to it.
