Squirrel Proof Squirrel Resistant Bird Feeders. Keeping squirrels out of bird feeders is always a problem. They are agile creatures who can jump up to 9' sideways, making feeder placement a problem.

I always seem to get these ideas completely stuck in my head, next think you know I am obsessed with learning about something and implementing some silly project. My latest thing is that I have decided to grow gourds for bird houses. Okay so I am a gardener - many backyard bird watchers are since it sort of goes hand in hand to create a habitat bird wild birds to attract them to feeders - and I

Suet for Backyard Bird Adding suet feeders to bird feeding stations is a great idea for bird watchers who want to attract a wider variety of species to a garden. Suet is a high energy, high protein food source that appeals to those species who eat mainly insects and may not visit seed feeders often. It is a favorite of woodpeckers of course! Also suet is loved by wrens, nuthatches, chickadees

I know that this is a United States based blog and that this article is in reference to Britain, but this is a world wide issue.
