The Secrets of Attracting Mockingbirds Using Bird Feeder Plans

!: The Secrets of Attracting Mockingbirds Using Bird Feeder Plans

If understanding what this bird likes to eat is the key to all things, then just what does a Mockingbird like to eat? Mockingbirds eat insects. Easy then, we invest in bird feeder plans for and create a suet feeder or we buy one. Don't jump to conclusions because the Mockingbird likes sunflower seeds, raisins and fruit in addition to suet.

So then I guess we create a suet feeder with suet in the middle, sunflower seeds in the tray, and a piece of fruit put in for good measure. Small pieces of bread on the ground work too. My granddaddy and I did that when I was just a young girl.

My recommendation is to do exactly what was just proposed after which do these things too. This bird wants water as much as food, so you may have the best outcomes if you also place a bird bath nearby and safeguard it near some foliage. These birds aren't as relaxed out in the open and choose dense bushes and trees for a feeling of safety. While they imitate other birds, Mockingbirds need their space and are easily scared by some other birds and animals who would eat their food or be a threat to them. See our post, "Keeping the Critters Out of Your Bird Feeders", on our web site, Bird-feeder-plans.org.

These birds come in pairs too, and will build a nest together in nearby dense bushes. Mockingbirds lay small bluish green eggs and will fiercely protect the eggs and their young. Mockingbirds, like Blue Jays, will dive bomb cats if they come anywhere near the nest. They will dive bomb people too for that matter.

These birds are beginning to sound like more trouble than they are worth, but I can assure you they are worth it. They aren't migratory birds, so once they've chosen your yard, and assuming you have provided for them well, you will have company you will truly enjoy.

Though perfectly able to warble songs of their very own, you'll be amazed whenever you hear them imitate other birds, and at times even other sounds they hear. At times they will even sing all night. I know about that too from my childhood. In those days, houses in south Florida were rarely constructed with heaters, never mind air conditioning, so windows were open all the time. I can still recall waking up to all the noises the birds would make and must confess my exasperation with them would be high when they would awaken me from a sound sleep. Air conditioning has sweetened me though, and I adore listening to them in the mornings now as I enjoy my first cup of coffee on the back porch.

Garden Birds Love Wild Bird Seed

!: Garden Birds Love Wild Bird Seed

When it comes to feeding birds in your garden, there are various ways to do so and numerous food to feed them with. Depending on the type of birds that visit you, there is a choice of different feeders available. However, if you not sure what types of birds come to your garden this is a perfect and exciting opportunity to do a bit of bird-watching and research the different kinds you see.

The wild bird food you select should be stored in a dry location and only given in quantities to fill the bird feeder. If let out in the open to get wet, mould can grow. If you scatter the wild bird seed over the ground, you will have other pests on your hands such as squirrels, chipmunks and predatory hawks. Instead you will need to be organised in where you place your food for the birds to ensure they will want to visit your garden.

Start the process by searching for an area to place your bird feeder. The ideal place is one that is located securely on a tree. You can even purchase a self-standing feeder but place it in an that will allow the birds a clear view. This is especially needed if you have lots of cats around. The feeder should be fastened using the manufacturer's instructions and nothing but wild bird seed should be placed in them.

In some instances, you can purchase specialized feeders such as a peanut feeder. This will allow you to mix the wild bird seed with unprocessed peanuts to feed larger birds. Keep in mind that small or juvenile birds can choke on these in same way as a small child.

Fill the feeder with wild bird food, but do not overfill it. Make sure that any spills are cleaned up. If you live in an area that receives a lot of rain your bird feeder should be checked regularly for any dampness or moulding of food. As the quantity of seed decreases, remove the old bird seed and refill the feeder.

Some examples of great bird seed to purchase include Chapel Premium Bird Food and Johnston and Jeff Wild Bird Food although there are many more to choose from.

Wild bird food doesn't have to be expensive if you use it in moderation. Overall though it's well worth the money to have birds singing in your garden.

Bird Feeders

!: Bird Feeders

A bird feeder has to be sturdy to withstand all types of weather. It also has to be well sealed in order to keep the food inside dry. It should be big enough so that you don't have to constantly refill it, and it should be easy to clean. Wooden feeders have a certain charm to them, but practicality dictates that the best bird feeders are made of plastic or metal.

There are three different types of bird feeders - tray, hopper and tube. They each attract different bird species. The screen tray birdfeeder is made of steel mesh and can hold different types of seeds or nuts depending on the birds you want to feed. Tray feeders are hung from trees and also attract squirrels.

The most popular fillers for tray feeders are peanuts, raisins, mealworms, black oil or sunflower seeds. The hopper bird feeder is box shaped and dispenses seeds automatically. It has a roof to help keep seeds dry. It attracts a wide variety of backyard birds including doves, blue jays, blackbirds and cardinals. Hoppers can hold a lot of seeds and because they are automatically dispensed, they do not spoil. Tube feeders are long cylinders that have perches at the feeding ports. They can be purchased as upside-down models or seed tray models. They usually attract small woodland birds like chickadees, titmice, woodpeckers, nuthatches and finches. Because the perches are small, they discourage larger birds including cardinals, blue jays, grackles, blackbirds and doves. You can use sunflower seeds or tiny thistle and Niger seeds, but you must make sure that there is no dead space at the bottom of the feeder to prevent rotten or moldy seeds.
