How do you attract birds to a feeder?

Try different types of seeds since different birds prefer different types of seed.

I found that black sunflower seeds attracted finches whilst mixed wild bird seed tends to attract sparrows and tits.

Adding a bowl of live mealworms, or a sprinkling of dried mealworms (both found in petstores) can also help to attract birds, especially robins and blackbirds who particularly love these.

A lot of it is having the patience to wait. It can take a while if you live in an urban area, but once the birds find it, they will return. They tend to visit feeders more in Winter and Spring.

The trick is not to give up.
