Bird Feeders FAQ

Bird feeders FAQ provides lots of great bird feeding info. Read what other backyard birders have to say about their favourite hobby; what they are asking and what others have to say to help them with their problems.

I have been asked so many questions over the years since starting this website, and before, when we owned our wild bird store. Very good questions that most of us need the answer to at some time in our backyard bird feeding experience.

So, I decided to share what my readers ask, and provide my answers for your information. I am also going beyond that and opening up this page to further questions, which will be viewed by other readers.

AND if anyone feels they have something to contribute as a help to a question that has been asked, I extend a warm welcome to do so.

There will be no last names used in these posts, only first names and what state, province or country you live in.

(If you have a question and do not want it to be seen by everyone here, then please feel free to use the “contact us” button to ask your question. I will answer you in private and not share it with everyone if that is your wish.)

There is often more than one solution to any problem. I am looking forward to learning what other people have done to solve problems in order to make watching our backyard birds even more enjoyable!squirrel clipart

The form is easy to fill out and you can even share your pictures if you like!
