How long?
HOW long should one wait for birds to find a new feeder? I decided to get rid of my old kind and change types of seeds because grackles (new this year) had scared away my beloved robins and sparrows; but the tube niger thistle feeder I have hung in a tree, and a new feeder with bars to keep out grackles, have yet to be discovered by any goldfinches. Some sparrows have returned, but how long shall I wait for the birds to find a new feeder before I give up and decide the design is not good? (Sorry, I am new at this - both posting and feeding. I can't get the "how to" page to open, either. I keep getting an error message. So my apologies if I have already broken some rule or other
