    Hand-Feeding!

    I'd just revisited and realized I didn't answer the poster a few above. I fed the birds at a feeder right off of my porch until they knew there would be a constant food supply. Once I found the time of day they visit most (6-730pm), I stood outside with my hand outstretched by the feeder (which...

    Bird ID- Southeastern Ontario, Canada

    Alright, I don't have a camera so I can't take a photo of the bird in question, but I am so curious to find out what it is. I know it is ONE of two bird species, but I can't tell which. It would make sense if it were a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak female, but it LOOKS exactly like a Black-Headed...

    Hand-Feeding!

    Hi all, I live in a small town with a river behind my house. There are no cars, no children and no cats (we have dogs!) We've been feeding the birds for about 3 months (we moved here about 4 months ago), and they've been coming steadily since we put the feeders out. I had noticed that the...

    No Takers for Nyjer

    Hmm.. I must've been one of the "lucky few". I saw goldfinch eating at my BOSS feeder, so I immediately went out and purchased a tube feeder with Nyger, and ever since it's been up I have a group of about 15 that feed on and off all day. I have a sock and a tube- they LOVE the sock! Only, a...

    Squirrels

    I'm having the same problem here in CAN. I've had 5 squirrels attacking various feeders at one time. I've swapped the important ones (read: the LARGE ones) to Safflower seeds. I've read that squirrels do not like them, or at least not enough to empty a feeder. Thankfully Grackles don't either...

    Chips the Crime Drama Starling!

    That is so neat!! I can't believe how it mixes it's "learned" noises with the noises it's heard randomly. I wonder if he lived above an ambulance bay when he was a baby? Hospital bird.

    Rose-Breasted Grosbeak!

    A male and female Rose-Breasted Grosbeak have been visiting my feeder for the past two days. I wish I had a camera to get a picture, he's so handsome! I'm in South-Eastern Ontario Canada!

    Where to buy Mealworms in ON?

    Hi all, I've been wanting to purchase mealworms for my Orioles and nesting birds around my house, and I'd like to buy bulk (1000-2000 at a time). Does anyone know of anything near Peterborough ON that I can purchase them from? Or any good online shops that offer free shipping. I am hoping to...

    Baltimore Oriole eating sunflower chips?

    That made me laugh! 50 mealworms?! He must be hungry! I am going to pick up some mealworms sometime this week. What sort of container do you feed them in?

    Baltimore Oriole eating sunflower chips?

    About 5 days ago, one lone male Baltimore Oriole wandered into my yard and began eating my sunflower hearts. Right by my porch too! It's a feeder that the finches frequent, because most of the larger birds wont come that close. He stops in 5 or more times a day. I went out today and bought him...

    American Woodcock

    Hey all, I was really excited to see a returning American Woodcock while riding on the trails. I feel like this is the only time I may see one, he (or she!) is so quick and yet, unafraid. Really neat bird. But I wonder.. why is it that I only ever see the one?

    Hawks at my feeder :(

    Wow guys, thank you for the warm welcome and all of the advice! Very friendly bunch you have here :) I haven't seen him yet today, although he (or she) could've come during the day. I'm pretty sure all 12 of my gold finches came for their feeding this morning! I don't mind mice and rodents...

    Hawks at my feeder :(

    Hey all! I have been feeding the birds in my backyard for about 2 months now. I have large numbers of black-capped chickadees and gold finches which are my favourites. I also have cardinals, blue jays, grackles, starlings, mourning doves, red-winged blackbirds and sparrows. This evening I was...
