Hello Backyard Birders!
Welcome to your world, a wild bird kingdom designed for anyone who loves to feed wild birds in their backyard. You are a select group of 63 million people who enjoy this wonderful hobby of backyard bird feeding. Growing up, our only attempt to feed the birds in our neighborhood was to throw bread crusts on the ground for the crows. As we grew older, and some would say wiser, we learned how each bird has its own seed preferences. We understood that changes in our landscape affects our choices in attracting birds. We now use our expertise to assist others in enjoying a hobby that has consumed our lives, one backyard at a time.

I have an 8 port wild bills bird feeder and am most happy with it .Problem : As I was filling it I lost the hook that secures dome and reverses when needed to hang from my installed chain . It is useless without it. I will reimburse you .Please direct me on how to order..
Feeder was mounted on post close to neighbor’s thick shrubbery and we can not find needed part
Thank you for your much needed aid.
Sincerely ,

How do you get rid of starlings? They have suddenly taken over the backyard and made a mess of it.

Can you describe your feeding stations? How many feeders and what kind? Are they tube feeders or hoppers or both? What kind of seed are you serving? Is it a mix, if so, can you tell me the fat content? (look for the fat content on the package, by law it has to list it)
If you provide us these answers, we can better serve you.
Thanks,
WBD

I am so bereft that there are no birds at my feeder, and haven’t been for some time now (about one month). I cleaned all my old feeders, I put a brnd new one out with “meaties”, I have put brand new suet in a new suet feeder. Not a single bird. I have never had this happen in 10 years of feeding the birds.

Hello Gail,
Not to worry, this is a common happenstance in many areas from time to time. Are there any signs of squirrels or chipmunks around or are they also absent?
