When anyone buys a new bird feeder, they expect birds to be on it by the time they get back into their house from hanging it. This is rarely the case. Birds have to be cautious to survive and a new feeder, even among other feeders, is something new in their environment and they will often avoid it at first. I recommend giving the feeder a minimum of two weeks for birds to start visiting it.
