I often see sparrows in my backyard. Recently I want to buy a few bird feeders to attract more birds to my backyard, but I am still confused about which bird feeders to buy because I recently saw some smart bird feeders. The bird feeder can not only feed the birds, but also take photos or videos of the birds through the camera. I think this is quite interesting.
As a data scientist, I need some data to help me make choices, and in addition to bird feeders, I also want to know what are the precautions for installing bird feeders, because squirrels are really annoying sometimes. Here is the link, I can't wait to know your answers. Link: Survey on Backyard Birdwatching and Bird Feeding Behaviors

8 Goldfinch is a good number for our garden. Had a ChiffChaff knocking around last week as well.

Have stopped putting fat balls out at the moment as the debris was attracting a few rats.
