Simply For The Birds

If you want more birds to feed from your bird feeder, get the platform bird feeders.  You can put birdseeds, fruits and even bread on the feeder.  Since they are flat, the birds can easily get the food they want.  And they can perch on the edges of the feeder.
 
They have removable perforated metal bottoms so you can easily clean the feeder.  It can hold about 2 quarts of birdseeds or other foods.  It also includes a hanging cord so you can hang them from a tree or from a ledge on your patio.  You will definitely attract all kinds of birds on your feeder.  And you might see other little critters like squirrels as well.

If you provide Cardinals with their favorite seed and a bird feeder with a perch that is a little distance from the seed, you should attract Cardinals to your backyard in no time.  Wood platform feeders, hoppers, fly through and open ground feeders all work well for Cardinals.

The seeds of choice for the Cardinal are: Black Oil Sunflower, Safflower or a mixture of both.  The Cardinal’s large bill enables him to crack open the larger sunflower seeds.

If you would like the Cardinals to nest in your backyard, provide them shrubs or viney tangles.  Junipers, dogwoods, honeysuckle and vibrums make great nesting options.  Cardinals will nest twice every summer!
