I would guess green because they eat grass, which is green. Besides that, you have to do an experiment.
another person:I did the experiment and the birds ate the plain birdseed more than red, yellow, blue, and green (I only used five colors). My hypothesis was that they'd eat green more, though. Maybe they ate the plain one more because their used to eating that color of birdseed.

∙ 14y agoOn the other hand: RED is a color that will attract [especially "hummingbirds" if you are living in a region that is populated with the beautiful little darlings, (which by the way, are the only bird species capable of flying in "every" direction - that includes straight up. extreme left and right, and straight down with no arcing movement!)
Most birds regardless of the goodies you are providing. Birds are simply attracted to that color.
So - if it is the birds themselves that you would like to see in all their splendor - paint your feeder RED, and be careful to use a NON-TOXIC paint, as they will trim their beaks on most anything. You might consider putting a cuttlebone (found at any pet supply - and cheap) inside the feeder. Trim in yellow, or anything bright. ENJOY.

What is the Bird Feeder?
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.
