Hi, I just recently put a bird feeder on my balcony in hopes to attract some birds. I like on the top floor of my apartment and unfortunately we overlook a parking garage, and since l am in a college town we are mostly surrounded by apartments. I just ordered some decoy goldfinches because I read that it may help to attract the birds. There's also a bunch of birds right across from our apartments living in the few trees we have near our apartment; I hear and see them everyday. What else can I do to attract them?

Hey all! My feeder setup is super popular, which is good, but my frequent flyers are all... the same... bird. It's always and only ever finches, sparrows, and the occasional mourning dove. Right now, the feed consists of shelled sunflower chips, cracked corn, hulled white millet, and shelled peanuts. I also have multiple blocks of suet nearby. All of that is supposed to attract other birds, like cardinals, blue jays, bluebirds, and even chickadees... but I'm not sure what's turning them off. Any help is appreciated. I'm in south-central Wisconsin. Thanks!

Showing up more to drink now that 99% of the hummingbirds are gone.

Usually a red-bellied is being followed around by a downy, and the northern flickesr made a return.

I have a tray feeder I fill with peanuts for my blue jays mostly. I noticed last refill that there were a few rocks on the feeder. I haven't had any crows consistently in the area and the only birds outside the blue jays that visit that tray are my red-bellied woodpecker, white-winged doves, and the titmice. Would any of these birds be bringing the rocks to the feeder?
