Thanks so much for the video . I can never figure it out 😊

Just what I needed to see....thanks for posting

Will cardinals go on a box during winter.

I saw a Barred Owl on top of my bird feeder today. I have a little forest on my property and would like to put up a Barred Owl nesting box. Your video was very informative. I will subscribe to your channel. I am also a nature lover. B.S. Forestry Purdue University 1972

I love Northern Flicker woodpecker they are always in our yard.

Great video! I was wondering- will the 18” tube feeder cage impede cardinals from feeding? Im at my wits end with these black birds. They descend en mass- like 40-50 and none of the cardinals or smaller birds get a crumb.

Our girls are writing a report on your experience with the woodpeckers thank you for your knowledge of these animals

The one thing that is a little disappointing, is that they are territorial and need a half mile between nest boxes. Who has that much property?

I do not understand the hate for some species over others. We feed everything that comes including raccoons. Crackles are beautiful. Cow birds probably should get hate but life is life. Anyhow they come at set times. Just feed before and after or just after if you are racist to crackles 👍

I love Cardinals ❤️ 🎉.

Thank you Bob for caring for our wonderful lovely sweeties ☺️🕊️

Didnt help get feeder back together. Spring not fitting back in

Thanks, I’ve thrown away a lot of seed because it got wet before I could take feeder to garage. 😊😊

This is so funny and sounds like us at the store.😊 New subscriber here from @dnasbirdingadventures

My pesky birds are mourning doves. They stay long at the feeder gobbling up and scattering the feed. Unfortunately, my WiFi feeder has a large double perch and feed base to accommodate those hungry doves.

Birdwatching/feeders != Birding

How far away in INCHES should the cage be to the feeder opening when a cage is attached. Thanks

I have four SB Plus feeders and two SB peanut feeders. Two of the SB Plus have been in continuous use some 15-20 years, year round in Nova Scotia. They are fine. The two other SB Plus feeders are about 10 years old as are the two peanut feeders. These have all required replacement parts due to periodic bear maulings. None of these are truly squirrel-proof. I have small red squirrels here as well as chipmunks. Even with the spring mech. set to its most sensitive position, these critters are able to feed. So, while these are well-made feeders, they really have not lived up to their raison d'etre. In winter, with the rodents (and bears!) in hibernation, they are fine but I've declared surrender to the furries otherwise.

i have been invaded by the grackles- been getting the safflower and they eat it all - i hate taking the feeders down - love my little birds and my bluejays that come by for peanuts but its been 3 weeks so i guess that is what i will have to do - how long will it take to get them to move on?

I love that idea my problem is Doves eat all the food I have hoards of them when I put out a platform feeder I have deveral Cardinals families that come but it's a fight for them to get food

Which fasteners do you recommend for securing the box to a tree? Is a softwood tree like pine a bad idea?

Don't be a hater , starlings are the best bird's

Beautiful axes Mr. Bunyun. 👍

Grackles are my friends 😤

Could you share How you attached to tree please?

Good morning.... So I purchased the safflower seed. Very few birds are eating it. In fact, I put a cup full in the feeder and most of it remains in the tray. Maybe its the brand (bought it at Walmart) but its not being ate. I suppose its time to cover my feeder with the cage unit which would be a big expense since I have many feeders. The tip you shared about finch attraction is working!

Part 2 message...lol. Finches ceased to feed from the nyler seed times I have. Its fresh seed and there's been no rainy weather to blemish the feed. 🤔

I can’t find those feeders on that website. Where can I find those?

I like what does the stairs I only thing that I don’t like event grackles the McCabe Food

Can I have the link for the cage. I don’t see it on the store ?

So...how can you keep attracting cardinals so they can feed? I like the cage product but what about keeping your cardinals accessing the feeder?

Grackles... the spades of the bird world. Watch them just splash bird seed all over the ground. I hate them.

What to do about coons?

sounds racist..

How can you be SO selective? Do you care about birds or not? I got 2 blackbirds on my feeder this week and I am thrilled. We love them all- birds, rats, squirrels any sort no problem. Stop acting God.

In my backyard each morning I have canidal sounds

I have a Buster Plus on a pole in my yard. I pull it off the pole to fill it and ALOT of seed runs out of the feed holes onto the ground. Even when the feeder is up on the pole and filled, the feeder emptied in about 3 days with the seed laying in the tray below. Three days ago I was filling and put my foot on the cardinal ring to pull up on the tube hoping to close the round feed ports when the tube came loose in my hand. I saw an indent and a yellow sticker, lined them up and the tube fit back on the base. And the seed DID'T spill out the feed holes! BUT, is the seed making its way down to the feed holes? Any insight into what I was either doing wrong before, (seed flowing out), or have done now, (seed staying in the tube)? Perhaps a week or so will tell, if the seed is going down in the tube. Your video is very helpful, thanks. Here in Virginia I have a plague of grekels, cardinals, Caolina finch, blue jays, mocking birds and a few others as regulars. Have seen a couple Baltimore Orioles and Red Wing Blackbirds! I have a suet feeder that draws a couple read headed woodpeckers. And crows are discovering the peanuts I put out on a bald spot in the lawn and on top od a burn barrel. So, having lived in NYC for the past 43 years, I'm pretty excited! And new. Thanks for your help.

I found this video LOOKING for an old video archive of "wild ravens courting". I will NEVER forget what an amazing thing it was to see "raven courting" as the FEMALES CHOSE a mate. The boys had to be the best of the best as they frolicked/rolled downhill and flipped up as MUCH SNOW as they could being "clowns" to "win" the favour of the "onlooking females". The girls CHOSE their mate by who made the BEST silly, goofy, pretentious accidents and the MALES who made them enjoy the spectacle WON their heart. It's crazy to think how even, in this "human monogamous" parallel , birds can teach us what makes us "sexy". haha ... As I ALWAYS SAID: "If you ain't laughin'?... you ain't livin''" :)

How about are there scouts for poopin on pool ledges!!! I swear they do this on purpose, hold it in get to pool ledge and poop! May be buying an inflatable big bird to float around pool. I saw idea on here. Or perhaps fake snakes on ledges I saw on here also. I put a fake small crocodile, didnt phase them😤

Im here in maryland and have had a few owls for years. One is coming out more often. Everyday getting very close to us and my kids in the yard. He sits in the swingset believe it or not. A lil scary but im putting one if these up. Thanks for the info.

After watching your very informative video, I decided to clean my feeder. The problem is I and unable to remove the wingnut. I tried wd40, no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you

Beautiful work!

Is a starling the same thing as a sparrow?

I feed orioles jelly in a little hanging tray. Is there a way to keep little purple finches out of the jelly, as they are eating most of it.

I get a lot of grackles and starlings in Rhode Island. Took over my little tube feeder i put out for the song birds. They can barely perch 😡😡😡 and still hanging on

How do I keep my blue joys and cardinals and get rid of starlings and grackles?

How can I keep them out of my yard I’m meeting my cat food

Can Cardinals fit through the cage system?

I put out caged feeders, where finches and sparrows are happily eating. I have a red winged black bird invasion since January, thats why i started with the cages. The fact they cant get to the food as much makes them more agressive. They cling on the cages and pulling out the small birds. I feed mourning doves in my window feeders and leave safflower seeds in a tray for them in the yard too. But i started finding dead headless finches around the house in the past week. I was wondering what made this massacre. I saw a grackle around ( i didnt know what it was, but just found out its breed today), and i literally witnessed it killing a little finch next to a caged feeder this afternoon. I ran outside, but it was too late. I am so devastated, i enjoyed watching the little birds and doves coexist peacefully, now im terrified to look outside the window. And i thought the red winged devils were bad, now i found out grackles are carnivores and literally praying on my small finches and sparrows ( so far finches fell victims). So far i have seen maybe 2 grackles around. When i put out food for squirrels too, there were more, and zero squirrels because these black creatures were sitting in the bowls all day). What can i do to stop the killing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
