We found a couple baby birds this afternoon..?

Posted on April 5, 2011 by admin| 11 Comments

We found a couple of baby blue jays this afternoon in our backyard. They had fallen out of their nest and were just sitting under the tree when we found them. They were apparently hungry, so we fed them tiny pieces of wet bread. What else could we feed them?
We haven’t touched them..just dropped the bread into their beaks.
Kelly: that’s what we plan to do, but for now we just are wondering what to feed them until then.
We can’t put them back into the nest..they fell out because there was a huge whole in the bottom of it.

Posted on December 15, 2010 by admin| 6 Comments

To attract goldfinches, use two bird feeders with multiple ports and perches, provide black oil sunflower or Nyjer seed, and plant lots of ornamental flowers. Consider using a sock bird feeder or sycamore balls to attract goldfinch birds with advice from a professional wildlife biologist and naturalist in this free video on bird watching.

What is the best type of bird feeder for Blue Jays & Cardinals?

Posted on June 26, 2010 by admin| 6 Comments

My father loves feeding birds and has several bird feeders. We seem to attract enough of all types of birds, but the larger birds (Blue Jays & Cardinals) have a tough time feeding as compared to finches and other smaller ones. We provide a wide-variety mix of bird feed and black oil sunflowers.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What kind of bird food attracts the largest variety of bird species?

Posted on June 6, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

I live in Fort Pierre, South Dakota, and I’ve been fascinated by birds for as long as I can remember. Recently, my grandfather and I built two plastic-bottle birdfeeders. We don’t usually see a lot of blue jays, but they *do* live in the area. I want to attract as many different species as possible. Will standard mixed bird feed work, or is there anything special to attract specific birds in the area? A few examples of some of the birds that I want to attract are blue jays, robins, chipping sparrows, other sparrows, finches, doves, and common grackles (locally known as “blue-headed blackbirds”). It doesn’t have to be just those species, though.
Anyway, an answer would really be appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Starlings are taking over my backyard birdfeeder…?

Posted on January 31, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I have a backyard birdfeeder, and want to know how to attract different birds than I am getting. I am using mixed feed, also have a suet feeder, and I put out corn for the squirrels and birds.For the first couple of weeks, there were a couple of house finches and a downy woodpecker, along with cardinals, sparrows, doves, blue jays, grackles and juncos. But now, it seems the starlings are taking over. They’ve figured out how to eat out of the feeder, as well as from the suet, and run the smaller birds off. I wouldn’t mind feeding them too if they weren’t such bullies. The juncos are gone for the year, but I haven’t seen the woodpecker or finches for awhile. I plan to get a finch feeder, but is there anything else I can to to encourage different birds to come?
