    Comedy Wildlife Photography

    Interesting post...this is much akin to why I engage in the act of birding and photography. This because my interest is in the unspoken language or reading posture and communicating via that way of interacting with a like species and recording it by way using a camera.

    types of feed ?

    Firstly I believe you meant Black Oil Sunflower seed and it is a great winter time seed but as important is the Grey Striped Sunflower seed. Yuh birds by nature will go for cracked corn a what I call filler to a mixed offering but many times when birds see something that is new to them they...

    Ah...summer warmer weather and a time that breeding elevates. If you're a Northern Red Cardinal paired to a mate you are likely flat out breeding machines.

    Birds stopped eating millet

    OF the 2 Millets white is their least favorite but beyond that both red and white are at the bottom of the list in regards to birds liking any seed that's why most bags of seed found have lots of millet. Seed sellers see it as just a filler to increase profits.

    Sparrows demand more sunflower seeds after first week of supply

    The oil within the seed is what birds need especially in colder climates. Those oils are compromised with age and the chips will age sooner out of the shell.

    Sparrows demand more sunflower seeds after first week of supply

    Bring down the temperature of your feeding site/allow them to feel safer. In turn you'll get a wider variety and they will not be as jumpy. Just placing random feeders/plates without adjoining cover i.e. canopy or the ability to stage will always create a problem.
