I have a fairly large mix of bizarre birds that visit plus live in my yard yearly. Whether it’s the brilliant red cardinals or the red jays plus goldfinches, I just enjoy seeing them eat directly through my window. I have a few bizarre feeders that I hung to attract songbirds plus hummingbirds. After a few weeks of keeping the feeders well stocked, birds from all over had come and discovered the up-to-date feeding trough, so to speak. I love the different types of birds in particular, their wings are able to move so fast that all you can see is a blur. They’re simply beautiful creatures no matter how you look at it. When I first bought the dove feeders, I didn’t think the best location to hang them outdoors. You want them in a location where the birds can locate all of the food, but you also want to be careful not to install them in places where birds will naturally avoid. For instance, I ran into this exact issue with my first dove feeder as I had put it too close to my Heating, Ventilation, and A/C condenser in my yard. I didn’t think anything of it until several weeks had gone by and I still didn’t see any birds on the feeder while in sunlight minutes. One day I saw a dove approach the feeder plus then turn around plus fly away in an instant. At that moment I realized why the birds were avoiding my feeder. The fan for the condenser was working, and it creates both a massive amount of noise plus a big column of air moving at an extremely high speed. The birds are simply spooked by the condenser as it runs, enough to avoid the space even while it is turned off. After moving the feeder to a better location, it was packed with birds in a matter of mornings.
