How can I attract birds to my bird feeders?

Brokn asked:


Several of my neighbors have feeders so the birds aren’t looking at mine. I have 4 feeders up, one with thistle, a suet feeder, a platform feeder and a tube feeder. I also have a birdbath out for them but its been a week and I haven’t had any takers.

Bird Feeders?

Thursday, July 1st, 2010
happywoman74 asked:


About a month ago I bought a bird feeder, filled it with seed and put it in a tree in my front yard. I have been eagerly waiting for the birds to mob it. They still haven’t touched it. I wonder if it’s because the feeder is too new and maybe the scent of me or the wood stain is actually scaring them away? Could it possibly be that they just can’t find it? I love watching birds. So what do you think? Should I just have some patience? Should I put like a trail of seed in the grass leading to the feeder? What can I do to get them to eat from the feeder? I appreciate your responses!
