Ground Feeders: Sparrows, juncos, doves, and bobwhites prefer to feed on the ground, and all you have to do is scatter the seed there. A tree stump or a knee-high table will do as well. However, ground feeding is unsanitary and may attract rodents, unless the ground is concrete that can be disinfected / sanitized.

Tube feeders are plastic seed-filled tubes with feeding ports and perches. Some are enclosed in wire cages. Hang from a tree limb or mount on a post.

Thistle tube feeders have extra-small openings to dispense thistle seed (niger seed), a favorite of smaller birds such as pine siskins and redpolls. Sunflower tube feeders attract larger birds like nuthatches and grosbeaks. Chicakadees and goldfinches use both types of tube feeders.
A Tube Feeder with Black Oil Sunflower will attract: chickadees, goldfinches, nuthatches, pine siskins, redpolls, titmice and woodpeckers

Platform (or tray) Feeders are open trays with raised edges. Use one with drainage holes to prevent seeds from rotting. This type of feeder attracts seed-eating birds, but is especially appealing for ground feeders such as cardinals, grackles, jays, starlings, titmice, purple finches, evening grosbeaks, juncos, doves, pheasants, grouse, and some sparrows. Place tray feeders on or near the ground

Hopper or House feeders: Look like small houses with a roof that covers a large storage area for seed. These feeders attract many types of seed-eating birds, but are especially suited for larger birds such as blue jays, grosbeaks, cardinals, and woodpeckers. Hang from a tree limb or mount on a post.

Suet Feeders attract cardinals, chickadees, creepers, kinglets, nuthatches, starlings, thrashers, woodpeckers, and wrens. Peanut Butter Suet will attract bluebirds, cardinals, goldfinches, kinglets, jays, juncos, starlings, thrushes, woodpeckers, wrens

More Tips on Feeding Wild Birds ... Make-Your-Own Bird Feeders (fun projects with the kids)



Below are some available bird feeders with information on what kind of birds they attract ...
The birdfeeder features an encased motor and rechargeable (and replaceable) batteries. The motor is connected to the weight activated perch ring--birds will not set it off, even larger species like woodpeckers and cardinals. But the minute a squirrel hops onto the perch, the motor is triggered and the feeder begins spinning, taking the squirrel for a whirl before it loses its grip and is thrown (gently) from the perch. It's a humanitarian way to deal with persistent squirrels--there are no shocks or poisons to hurt them, simply a wild ride that they won't be inclined to repeat. Birds are free to eat without disruption, and your family will get a kick out of watching squirrels go for their rides.
