For the greatest variety and number of birds, try a variety of feeding spots and feeders. Start with one or two feeders and increase the number as you learn which foods and feeders the birds prefer. Place the feeders so you can watch them easily from a convenient window. Also, when the feeders are in sight, you'll see when they need to be filled or cleaned.Hang feeders near shrubs or trees so birds have nearby cover and an escape route from predators such as sharp-shinned hawks. In extremely windy areas, choose sheltered locations for the feeders.
Then sit back and enjoy the view!

We just moved to our house 4 years ago and I've been working on attracting birds ever since. Sometimes it is slow going, but keep caring for the birds and they will come. After 4 years, I have more birds coming to our house than I know what to do with! And love every minute of it!
