why aren't birds visiting my bird feeder?
I wonder if the height is too low. I have it hanging on my apartment patio.
My patio is covered by the balcony above me.
I have the feeder tied to a long rope which leaves it hanging
about eye level. I bought it about a week ago, but so far
no birds have visited it. Do I need to stand outside with a
sign that says, "bird feeder" with an arrow pointed toward my patio?
First is the feeder near the edge of your patio so the birds can see it? If so, then make sure you have the right kind of seed in the feeder. I recently had a person contact me with this problem and found out they had sunflower seed in a thistle feeder. The birds could not get the seed out. So, make sure if you have a mixed seed feeder make sure you have mixed seed in the feeder. If you have a humminbird feeder make sure you have the sugar water mixed at 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. If your not sure what kind of feeder you have feel free to send me a picture and I can help you. You also might try hanging a "bushy plant" on your patio or even a silk "tree or plant" would work. This will give the birds someplace to hide if they feel threatened while at your feeder.
Hope this helps!
