No, bird houses are only for birds to nest in. You will need to get a bird feeder to feed the birds with.
There a few materials required to make a bird feeding station for a backyard. An automatic bird feeder is required as well as bird food to feed the birds.
In Connecticut, you can typically put out your hummingbird feeder in mid to late April, as this is when ruby-throated hummingbirds begin to return from their winter migration. It's important to have the feeder ready by this time to attract the birds as they arrive. Make sure to keep the feeder clean and filled with a sugar-water solution (1 part sugar to 4 parts water) and remove it in late fall when the birds migrate south.
There would be 12 birds left at the bird feeder after the initial group of 3 birds was chased away by the 12 incoming birds.

Birds have excellent eyesight, and sooner or later one will find it. Then other birds will see it feeding, and soon birds come in from all around the area.
In Chicago, a bird feeder can attract a variety of species, including house sparrows, American goldfinches, black-capped chickadees, and northern cardinals. Additionally, you might see woodpeckers, such as downy and hairy woodpeckers, along with blue jays and finches during migration seasons. The type of seed you use can influence which birds are drawn to your feeder, with sunflower seeds and suet being particularly popular.
First, there is not just one bird feeder. The words 'bird feeder' are used as a general term. The feeder, (as you will hear when you begin feeding birds more frequently), is used basically for putting food out for the birds. Different birds prefer different food. Do not misunderstand, more than one bird can eat one or more of the same thing. Generally it is seeds, of which you can mix several at a time. You have sunflower seeds, with or without the shell; Niger seed; peanuts; white millet seed; etc. Plus there are a few that you can make at home such as, hummingbird sugar water, suet and more. And there are many other foods that birds eat.
I've done it, but it takes a lot of patience. I've also taken some great up-close photos of them while they were feeding. I even have a photo of them feeding from my hand (the feeder is in my palm). Hang a humming bird feeder low enough so you can watch them at eye level while they feed. Watch them from a distance to see when their busiest feeding time of the day is. You have to stand very, very still, about 2 feet away from the feeder, and try not to even blink while they are feeding. After a day or so, when they are used to seeing you, take the feeder down and place it in your palm, with your arm out stretched. Do this during their busiest feeding time when there will be more of them present. Hold your outstretched arm, with the feeder in the palm of your hand very, very still. You may even have to put something to brace your arm on. The birds should then begging to feed from the feeder, then gradually light on your hand and/or arm.
Do not put beech in a hummingbird feeder and present this as food to the birds, it will kill them.
Yes there are modified bird feeders for many birds, for example a hummingbird feeder has small holes for their different beaks. There is no bird feeder for all birds.
