How can I attract birds to my bird feeders?

Brokn asked:


We live in the midwest and I’ve hung out 6 bird feeders, we’re offering niger seed, sunflower seed, mixed seed, suet…I also have a heated dish with water. All we get is squirrels which I don’t want. My neighbors just dump a 25 pound bag of seed on their grass and the birds go over there but they don’t come to my feeders…even when the neighbors seed is used up. I also put out bread crumbs and bits of strawberries hoping some birds that like fruit would stop by. I’ve taken down a flag thinking may be it was scaring them. Any ideas?
