Hello Anthony,
This To Start 6 Species Is Pretty Good.It's Depend Where You Living .We
Living In A Housing Comminity Where We Have Lots Of Fir-Trees It Calls
Fircrest.Our Yard List Was 96 Last Year Listed In Washinton Birders.We Have
Three Suet Feeders Hanging 4 Big Tube Feeders We Mix With Crushed Unsalted
Peanuts.We Buy 50 Pounds,At Nellys And We Have 3 Birth-Bath Dripping Water
In Winter We Put Millet On The Ground For The Juncos And Sparrows.Also We
Had 28 Varied-Trushes Last Year.We pUT Hole Nuts Out For Theme.Apples And A
Ground Feeder With Suet.
Suet Is My One Recipe Of: Lard, Peanut-Butter Corn-Meal, Oats And Crushed
Peanuts.All The Birds Are Attracted To The Suet. I Have The Ruby-Crown
Kinglet Hooked On Suet.
THE QUIRLS AND CATS ARE MY ONLY PROBLEM ,But You Can Deal With This Too
