If squirrels still persist at a
feeder, lure them to the other
side of the yard with an easily
accessible tray of peanuts.
Check your feeder for
cleanliness if you use a tray or
platform type. A dirty feeder may
cause disease or discourage birds
from coming.
If you have trouble attracting
birds, try adding a water source.
Local bird populations will
fluctuate, however, and birds
absent for a period of time should
not concern you.
Added attractions to your
backyard can be lured in with
additional types of feeders.
The barrel type feeder described
is excellent for attracting deer,
turkey, pheasants, and cottontail
rabbits if filled with corn,
sunflower, and oats.
You may also attract wood
ducks or other waterfowl if you
are located in the appropriate
area.
