I like to watch the hummingbirds in my garden as they fly from flower to flower, but these birds from Columbia are really amazing.
And add a few humming bird feeders.... Have a flower patch for them too...keep a seed feeder, and a suet feeder loaded all year around.
Oh, you are so welcome! When I saw this post, it just excited me! I love watching the many birds, but don't know how to atract others like finches, and my hummingbird feeder got blown down and it was glass so it crashed and no more.Welcome to the forum.

Finches like niger seed and millet more than any other type of seed. You can get special feeders for them.Oh, you are so welcome! When I saw this post, it just excited me!

There's a general rule of thumb in the birding world, the 3 things or requirements rule in order to draw-in birds to visit.Oh, you are so welcome! When I saw this post, it just excited me!

Thank you Aunt Marg! I figured the doves and grackles were ground feeders, so they get fed there. I love reading other posts, it helps a lot. Thank you.There's a general rule of thumb in the birding world, the 3 things or requirements rule in order to draw-in birds to visit.
Food, trees, and water. Over and above those 3 main things, knowing which birds are ground feeders and which aren't, also helps.
