How do you squirrels out of bird feeders?
A problem for many back yard bird feeders. Most people use thin sheet metal around the post the feeder is attached to so the squirrel has no way to grip the post and climb up. If the feeder is hanging then a wide metal "cap" over it will not bother the birds but will stop the squirrel from jumping onto the feeder from above.
How do you attract a bird?
Many wild birds are ready to trust you but can be very suspicious when it comes to you getting close.Remember, you are the predator and birds want to stay away. To gain a bird's trust, place some food where birds will come eat. After a day or so, try going outside and siting far away from the feeder. When the birds come, stay perfectly still and watch. Try slowly moving forward a little bit. When you make any movement, keep your eyes off of the birds. Day by day, inch by inch, the birds will finally eat with you a few feet away from them. If the birds flee when you move forward, move several steps back and repeat the process again, but more slowly.

How do I Raise a well behaved bird?
Bird behavior refers to the actions of a bird in response to environmental situations. Some bird behavior is inborn whilst other behavior is learnt. Behavior includes caring for itself, feeding and interaction with others (birds, humans, other animals). To develop a happy and satisfying relationship with your pet bird it is important to understand its behavior. Birds view people as part of their flock and therefore act accordingly. Dominant behavior by birds is displayed when the bird believes it is head of the pecking order. It is thus very important to establish the pecking order with your bird as the subordinate. A dominant bird may develop “bad” behavior such as biting or screeching. It may feel it needs to defend its territory against disliked people and attack them. Such behavior by birds can be avoided by keeping the top of the bird’s head level with your chest. Do not allow it to perch above you or on your shoulder as this encourages dominant behavior. Bird behavior can often be interpreted, much like a foreign language. Tongue clinking is an invitation to interact. Grinding of the beak indicates contentment. Panting is a sign that a bird is overheated or perhaps uncomfortable. A sharp flick of the wings demonstrates annoyance. Observe your pet bird’s behavior carefully and you will gain much insight into their state of mind and their general well-being. Preening is an important part of bird behavior as it keeps feathers in good condition. Preening involves the smoothing of feathers by stroking the feathers with the bill. Preening behavior by garden birds may include dust baths and splashing around in water. Bird feeding behavior may change due to temperature, season and time of day. This is especially evident in the feeding behavior of garden birds. In winter they are more likely to make use of bird feeders due to a lack of natural food sources. Your pet bird may begin bobbing his/her head when hungry or excited by the prospect of being fed. Many birds expect to be fed at a certain time every day. Some species are very messy feeders and feed with great vigor. Bird behavior is intricate and fascinating whether you are observing the behavior of garden birds or your own pet bird.
