jcarscadden Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I expect to be moving in a year or two to a new housing development...some houses built and I have visited them....When i asked about bird feeders was told you can put them out but do not expect a lot of birds. The reason given is that there are no mature trees around. Any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Sounds right. I'd start with a single feeder with black oil sunflower seed. If that gets any attention, add a suet feeder. Over a couple of months, those should tell you if you'll get any long-term attention. If you haven't picked a lot yet, try to get one on the edge of the development nearest trees or water.

jcarscadden Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 thank you Charlie - we have picked a lot at the back of the development and close as we can to trees and water. They are planting some trees now but it will take a while. I do not expect to see the woodpeckers we see now but will take your advice and keep my fingers crossed for others....not starlings or HOSP!. I do have a large feeder that has suet cages on either end. Have been using suet dough in those and suet in logs I drilled out. I will bring that one or get a smaller one And as i said...keep my fingers crossed thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
