I'm guess it was blue tits. Since I've moved the feeder again I've not seen any sign but I'm still waiting in hope. They have everything they need incl water and vegetation very nearby so all should be well. Perhaps I'm in competition with someone else's gormet bird buffet! Hi Alison,

I eventually moved the feeder and they went crazy for it – unfortunately it was in a position that I couldn’t see from the house, so I don’t know what sorts of birds were feeding! I’m guess it was blue tits. Since I’ve moved the feeder again I’ve not seen any sign but I’m still waiting in hope.

I am guessing that different birds inhabit different areas. This is a new location for me so I have no idea what types of birds live here. There are morning doves that I see across the street and I hear lots of interesting birds singing but haven't yet figured out how to identify them because I can't see them! Sue Hello all,

After looking online, I definitively saw gold finches, not sure but may have been titmice, slightly red back-and-flat-head-no crest birds and of course, resident bullies aka sparrows. I didn't know that sparrows were considered a nuisance. I thought they were of the good birds that keep the bug pop down during the warmer seasons. I'll have to build those magic halos to keep them away. How come those gadgets repel most of them anyway? Yeah, thanks!

I hope to see birds soon. Uh, I bought feeder and food at the dollar store. I should've bought the seeds at Costco, for the more-than-massive bag of sunflower seed.

Great blog! I live in the Pacific North West. I recently bought 8 cylinder bird feeders 4 for finches and 4 for wild birds. I have them hanging on shepherd's hooks along with a birdbath in the same area. I'm really excited to see how long this will take. I can hear the birds all around in the pine trees...I think they are talking about them ;) Hi there! Great blog! I live in the Pacific North West.

I've seen birds relaxing in my balcony from time to time and yesterday I decided to hang a bird feeder to help them and enjoy myself watching them. I was staring at the feeder after placing it for one hour thinking that they would arrive right away. Good that I found this post because I thought that I was doing something wrong. I'll let you know what happens. Ana I have no garden but a balcony in the city of San Francisco.

They most likely know by now that your feeders are available and they'll come when they need to. Do you have water out? When it gets cold the birds seem to come to my garden for water and then they stick around to feed. Yes, the birds seem to be late coming to my feeders this year too.
