Alright so I have some bird food and some feeders. But I live in an apartment, on the 16th floor (there's 30 floors in total, in the apartment.) My question is, do you think birds would go that high to eat? Would they even notice if I put out food from that height? And, what are some things I should keep in mind if feeding them from a balcony? Thanks

Gulp... that is high , isn't it StarBurst.

I really don't know the answer - do you see birds flying around near your height, and do you know what species they are?

What species do you have in your area?

Not often, but sometimes I see tree sparrows perching around the area. There are other birds in the area but the sparrows are the only ones I've ever seen up near the balconies.

Pigeons may become an issue and annoy the neighbours, we have issues here with that and there are only 3 Pigeons!

I think it's better to go down and feed them.

Here, in Spain, in some cities it is forbidden even to feed the pigeons, because of the damage they cause to the buidings, statues...
