 I used to feed other seeds and found that it is easier to stay with one kind.  So I picked black oil sunflower seed and they will grow under the feeder so you get some free plants and the birds will eat them also.These finches are hungry little fellows

Every year I have a wren that appears and I never know which house he will claim you see him going in and out of different ones and then they  will pick one

This red-bellied woodpecker is on guard he is fighting off 3 starlings for some home-made suet cake. He stood his ground until he was done   Recipe for suet cake below

Recipe for suet cake
1 cup lard
1 cup peanut butter
