      Try spreading a little feed on and near the feeders!

      Are the birds of a seed eating specie? If you’ve got Woodpeckers and Nut Hatches they won’t come to a seed type feeder.(They’d appreciate a suet cake though.) One way to attract more birds is with a small fountain (any thing that makes the sound of running water).
      If You have Cardinals,they especially like Black Oil Sunflower seeds.
      Finches prefer Thistle seed.

      what type of birds are they? and are you feeding for that type of bird? there are many types of seed that feed different types of birds. you might want to try getting a feeder that is staked into the ground, it just might be easier for them to see.

      For them to drink and other predators birds have bird feeder some species such as doves are ground or on low table feeder that is near natural cover like bushes or on the ground feeders may be too close to the seed on the seed on the ground or on low table.
      The seed on low table feeder that is near natural cover like bushes or on low table feeder farther from hanging in case predator suddenly appears but you have the.
