Back yard bird feeding?
I have a few bird feeders in my back yard and I love feeding the birds, but I have so many doves. Is there any seed they won't eat? Also, will red-winged blackbirds eat safflower seed? Another thing, how do I get the blue jays to come to the feeders? I have a wide variety of birds-red-bellied woodpeckers, downys, cardinals, goldfinches, hairys, sparrows, house finches, crackles, rose-breasted grosbeaks, and of course doves, but I can't get blue jays! Any help would be appreciated.
Doves like small seeds,like millet and milo and they prefer to eat from the ground.I don't know of many birds that like safflower seed,despite what people say about it being a favorite of cardinals.I find that the best bird seed has a mix of white millet,black oil sunflower seed,peanuts and a little cracked corn. Blue Jays love the larger gray striped sunflower seeds,whole peanuts in the shell,and cracked corn.They also like bread and suet. I have noticed,however,that in the last few years,the number of blue jays seems to be diminishing.
