I do see them picking through the seeds in my feeders to get the sunflower seeds. But maybe they just prefer them over the other seeds.

I use everything from old pie pans on a stick to a high $$ "Droll Yankee" (supposedly) squirrel proof feeder. The birds don't care...they just want food and lots of it!! We have about 6 pair of cardinals...it's wonderful in the spring when they bring their babies to show them off!!<br />Last year on the great American bird count, I had 27 different birds to list. They were all looking for a handout :^)...plus, we have running water for them year around. I really think that may be the big draw!<br />Hope you have good luck with getting your birdies back...they are a huge source of entertainment for us, and for the princess Posie cat! (who never is allowed outdoors!!)<br />Blessings to you and a hug for Sir Bentley<br />JJaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140775009986030091noreply@blogger.com
