We have one. Came after a bad storm. It has stayed for about 6 weeks. It has to juggle for food with the 4 blue jays, scads of sparrows, downy and hairy woodpecks and squirrels. Love seeing the birds during the icky days.

No special feed, just black oil sunflower seeds. We feed this to all the wild birds. We have lots and lots of gold finches which we were told to feed niger seeds, but our finches wouldn't eat the niger seeds, it will set and mold while the finches eat the sunflower seeds. Nuthatches, tit mice, blue jays, purple finches, chickadees, all kinds of woodpeckers, juncos and others I'm probably forgetting really like the sunflower seeds.

My feeders have seen better days, before the squirrels and racoons found them. I would love to buy new ones just like them but can't find any- found these at a flea market several years ago.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I miss the cardinals...where I live we don't have them. Also miss the blue jays (as loud as they are sometimes), but if we go up to the mountains, sometimes you can see them... I do miss MO for some of those reasons.., but what is in the background.. (The snow), not so much!

Man what are you feeding them? I've never seen that many in one place. You are lucky to have such a wonderful sight to behold.
