Using Glass Bird Feeders
If you have decided that you want to put a feeder for the birds into your garden you may feel that you want something different than the standard types. Anyone can have a tube feeder or the more common wooden platform bird feeders. Perhaps you are looking instead for a glass bird feeder. These are a more elegant, and often more expensive, type of feeder. Still, it may be your preference to have something a little different, a little more stylish that makes a statement instead of just a bird feeder sitting in your garden. They are also good to have because they tend to last longer than other feeders, are less likely to disintegrate with the elements and will not rot.
The only thing is if you choose one of these their care is a little more complicated than that of the other kinds of feeders. Glass bird feeders need to be cleaned more often since the bird mess will cloud it quickly. Therefore they must be taken down every few days and washed. The best way to do this is to only put in enough food to last a few days. This way you do not waste the bird food. Then when it is emptied you can clean it. Some people suggest having a second feeder so that you can always have one hanging up. Cleaning one of these feeders should be done with good strong bleach. But, If that is what you use you need to be certain you rinse it extremely well so that there is nothing in the feeder that could make the birds ill. The smell may also be strong enough to cause the birds to steer clear. It is therefore recommended that you let the feeder air for a couple of days before putting it back into use. This is another reason why having two feeders made of glass to rotate them for cleaning makes more sense. This may seem extreme but if you want to use bird feeders made of glass these are the steps you need to take.
One other benefit of glass bird feeders is that they seem to attract more birds than many of the other kinds. Perhaps it is being able to see the other birds so clearly when they are feeding or maybe because these are often colorful. Some people think it is because they can see the bird seeds more clearly. But, whatever it is if you hang one of these in your garden you will get to enjoy bird watching out your window.

Information On Wild Bird Seed by Timothy Capper
Learning how to feed birds is easy. Begin by putting a bird feeder with seeds in the yard and see which birds will come to the feeder. A novice bird feeder has several matter to consider- how to feed the birds, what kind of bird feeders to put out, and which kinds of wild bird seed to use.
Choose from a variety of methods to feed birds. If ground feeding, select a wild bird seed that has a high amount of millet to draw ground feeding birds such as juncos, sparrow, and doves. When using a bird feeder, find a mix with little millet and a lot of oil sunflower, striped sunflower, and safflower that will attract birds such as nuthatches, titmice and chickadees that feed at higher levels. The third option is supplying wild bird feed on both levels so include a combination of millet and other seeds to bring in the greatest assortment of birds.
Bird feeders are available in various kinds such as platform feeders, tube feeders, suet feeders, and feeders intended for specific birds.
Even if a bird feeder is installed in the yard, it takes time for birds to notice the feeder. Keep in mind the following ideas. The wild bird food used depends on the kind of birds in the vicinity. Since birds locate wild bird seed by sight, put the bird feeder where it will be easily seen. Encourage feeding by putting seeds on ground and on the lid of the feeder. Clean the feeders frequently and change the seed often. Consider certain environmental “hazards” such as squirrels and starlings which may detract from bird feeding as well as cats and birds of prey.
A beginner bird feeder might want to begin with one bird feeder and a variety of wild bird seed that will draw a number of birds. Then increase the number of feeders and types of seed to provide for a wider number of birds.
Seed mixtures are available and draw a variety of birds. The inexpensive seed mixtures contain filler, do not draw the variety of birds, and are discarded by the birds making a mess on the ground.
Black oil sunflower seeds appeal to a more birds than striped sunflower seeds. They have a thin shell which is easier for small beaked birds to eat.
Consider other types of wild bird foods. Millet comes in red and white forms and is often filler in mixtures. Cracked corn can be mixed in seeds and attracts ground feeding birds. Shelled peanuts are easier for birds to handle. Thistle or niger, a small black seed, tempts finches and siskins. Safflower seeds are eaten by cardinals and drive off squirrels.
Suet and nectar feeders will draw birds that eat insects. Suet can be bought in commercially-made cakes or home made from beef fat with nuts and berries added and placed in wire feeders or hung from branches. Another choice is peanut butter blended with corn or other grains and smeared on tree bark or made into cakes. Fill nectar feeders with a sugar water solution.
Wild Bird Food comes in a variety of ready mixes, trial and error will dictate which bird food they enjoy most
