Guest Navek Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Need some advice attracting song birds to the garden . Plenty of them around and can hear them but can’t get them to feed on feeders . The old guy at top street got loads calling in his garden in his feeders and he just feeds sunflower hearts same as me but can’t get them come in to mine . Any advice Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabid 1,936 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 As above, give them a mix, I use niger seed, sunflower, peanuts, mixed bird and wheat, they also like some cover to dart to, so a tree/bush or hedge close to the feeder helps a lot, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 11,012 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 So much wild food about that most will be feeding else where but keep it there and in time they will start to drift in if you have the feeders in the right place as put them in the wrong place and feck all will come in.Out in the open so they can't be ambushed by cats or spars and one of the best thing around to attract birds into a garden is a big clean water bath as this time of year they need to drink and bathe.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
