...or get a pair of binoculars and spend some time watching your back yard. If you put out different types of birdfood, in different feeding stations, you will attract a vast variety of birds to your yard.
Remember that not all birds eat the same food and eat in the same manner.
While some birds like woodpeckers, titmice, chickadees, orioles, and nuthatches eat ONLY in the tree at a hanging food station (seed, suet or fruit) others like jays, cardinals, mourning doves, juncos, grackles and starlings are primarily ground feeders that feed on dropped seed, suet, fruit and also insects.
There are some that feed at both levels, depending on what they are looking for and is available.
Don't forget a birdbath, or some source of water for drinking and bathing. One thing that will constantly draw birds to your yard is a steady supply of water.
Get out there and start watching!
