This white-breasted nuthatch comes to my feeder and almost always eats upside down. I have no clue why he prefers to do that more often then right side up.

If the link doesn't work please let me know thank you

Hi again Syd. Sorry I can't view your video.

All nuthatches feed upside down (most of the time) it's quite normal for them and always approach feeders down a tree in the same way. About the only species I know of that do that, at least in the UK.

That's really interesting I wonder why. You would think it'd be harder to eat upside down. I posted the link again below. Hopefully it works 🤞 if not and you would like to see it you can go to my profile and go to my website link and you will see it there. :)
