Try putting a cupful a day where I am in the UK - 2mins later Pigeons, Doves,Starlings and Magpies hoover it up.I've tried all sorts to attract smaller birds I have quite a few different hangers a very large and a small table and give a great variety of seed and mealworms plus leftover food they never run dry and 2 lots of fresh water. The pigeons etc... scoff all the surface food and starlings the surface and the feeder foods it's been the same for years. I had 3 nesting box's for years which I saw the odd small bird fly to but they've never nested in them. I even bought a big plastic cage and cut holes just big enough for small birds to get the seed inside hoping to deter the bigger birds.I left in hanging on a tree for months with plenty of seed inside they could easily see but not one was eaten total waste of time.
This advise is the ''worst' advice . People feeding birds is taking away their independence , to feed themselves, by nature they don't need YOU!!!. you are training them to depend on you, not on themselves they need to be in the wild, not in a person's backyard, there is nothing ''cute'' about your advice. Also birds will hang around your neighborhood , and dropping their pooh, and noise and the worst attracting other birds in the neighborhood , which is dangerous, harmful to health, and noise, etc. dropping your food into someone's else yard , attracting ants, rats, more birds, etc.
I'm sure you mean well Jenny, but in our large Australian cities, where now is "the wild"? It's increasingly being gobbled up for new housing, warehouse, roads etc., leaving little habitat for birds - or any other wild creatures. So they DO need our help, sadly. Do you really want to live in a city empty of every animal - except for humans?
Don’t feed! 👎Water.❤👍Plant a range of local native plants for insect, blossom, seed feeders. Cockatoos eg Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, Corellas can be dominant,aggressive and destructive when not regularly fed.

Oh I love both their shirts!!! 🐦💗
Haha same!!!
You get parrots coming to your yards...here in Midwest US it’s songbirds....nothing as marvelous as this.
Nature is really beautiful
I love animals as well, thanks for this episode.

Amy Winehouse., look at bird bath
@@BirdBath1 I have 2.
Normally these video seem pretty good. But the bird in the thumbnail (Rainbow Lorikeet) is the last bird I'd want in my garden...
Why? Because they're noisy?
@@TheYoghurt42 They're aggressive with the food bowl.
I’ve got a large flock that visits, they’re noisy, but beautiful to watch
We love the lorikeets the best and thats what we mainly get on our feeder. They are quiet most of the time.
Very good
Ive met Darryl Jones lol
Unfortunately I'm seeing less birds and more cats 😞
Can you recommend any insect attracting plants please?
Lee Animals, look at bird bath
You´re feeding seeds to rainbow lorikeets???? You´re doing it?? Please tell me no
Was that dry dog food?
Looks like trill pellets to me
should you scare away pest birds like mynas and pigeons so natives get priority?
I try to. Too many pigeons just hang around just waiting for the food whereas natives forage further out.
