As a long-term bird enthusiast, happy to welcome another into the fold! If you don't already have it, get the Merlin Bird ID app; it's awesome.

Gross. Birds carry a lot of disease, and draw additional pests.

The rain will not wash away all bird poop. You’ll see.

They'd sit in it all day, rotating maybe 10 different doves, and fight to eat it all. They didn't care if I'd tap the glass or shoo them away. So all day every day it was just the dumb doves and maybe occasionally 1-2 other birds.

Maybe I need seed they don't like. Any tips?



You need a different type of feeder where the small birds can get in, but it keeps the larger birds out.

Get a second feeder.

Welcome to the club. One day you’re young and fancy free and the next day ¡Bam! you’re excited to see a yellow throated warbler.

It was just a cheap $5 thing from Temu.

They do but the floor and rails are painted a light grey so it doesn’t really show very much and the rain cleans it off.

Haha you are me and my family!
My kid has named each bird, identified the daddies, mommies and babies. And draws little guidebooks about her friends.
A little $5 clear birdfeeder from target has brought so much joy to our lives

I’ve never really put a bird feeder in front of my windows before but who knew what a joy it is to see birds coming in for snacks on the regular? I didn’t and I have been missing out. Also, of all of the crap I have bought in 2024 this is by far the purchase that has given me the most joy. Highly recommend.
