Bird feeder in garden.
7 Answers
I was bought a bird feeder for my b/day.
It is your usual type with a roof and open on 4 sides about 6ft high and has seeds, and fat balls but its been on my lawn for over 10 days and no birds have used it. What am I doing wrong?

There were birds on there immediately (it was during all the snow), but it took a long time for a variety of birds to use it. Don't be disheartened. Persevere with it, and you will be rewarded by seeing birds on it, even if you have to throw away the first lot of food as it has gone off.
I moved a bird feeder from hanging on a tree because a squirrel kept knicking the sunflower seeds to a rotary line and it took about two weeks for them to become accustomed to the move. At least I`ve outsmarted the squirrel,.....so far, but he sits on the shed....and thinks!!!! He can`t climb the pole because I`ve greased it, heh, heh.
my husband has just made a new bird table,without any roof on ,to replace our old one.The birds were on it before the paint had time to dry,we have blue tits,doves,chaffinches,robins,blackbirds,all sorts really.Do put out sunflower seeds,the hearts are good too and peanuts,good luck .And yes the roofless ones are the best.
