What do I do about squirrels?
No matter what you do, squirrels will find your feeders. Make sure to supply squirrels with foods they prefer (Wild Delight^® Squirrel Food, Corn on the Cob or Peanuts) somewhere away from your bird feeders. If you purchase inexpensive plastic bird feeders, the squirrels will damage or destroy them. Use well made feeders with metal bindings and squirrel proof guarantees.

What about moths and other insects in my bird seed?
Seed is a natural product. Often various types of insects and meal moths are present in seeds. These are harmless natural creatures and many birds thrive on these insects. To avoid this problem, buy seeds in smaller quantities or packages so that it is used quicker. Also, make sure your supplier is keeping seed fresh and that you do not see insects or moths in the store. You can also freeze your wild bird food to eliminate the problem.

Birds come to my feeder, take a seed or two and fly away?Some birds like Blue Jays and Nuthatches take a seed or two and then fly to a perch to crack open the hull. They will then hide these seeds in trees and other places for later use.

No birds are coming to my feeder?
1. Make sure you are using the right seed mix for the birds in
    your area.
2. Make sure the seed is fresh.
3. Make sure you have the correct feeder. Example, it is difficult
    to get Cardinals to come to a tube feeder.
4. Make sure that cats are not close to your feeder.
5. Make sure there are no birds of prey (hawks, owls, eagles,
    etc.) nesting or roosting close by.
6. Make sure your feeder is close by natural cover (trees and
    shrubs)
7. Be patient. Sometimes it takes a week or two before birds   
    find your feeder.
8. Tie a small piece of tin foil on your feeder so it glints in the
    sun. The birds will have an easier time spotting the feeder.

            My Goldfinches disappeared?
These beautiful yellow birds change colors in their home range and also migrate. During the breeding season, the male feathers change to a bright yellow either at home or as they migrate.

            All the seed is on the ground?
Many birds do not like certain seeds and grains used in lesser quality mixes. They will “throw” this unwanted seed out while searching for more desirable seeds and grains. The higher the content of millet, milo, corn, wheat, oats, etc., the more you will see uneaten seed on the ground.

            Weeds are growing under feeders? 
When seeds are “thrown” out of feeders, many will sprout. The answer is to use bird feeds that have more of what the birds want to eat so less will be wasted and the weeds won’t grow. However, regardless of the quality of seed you will see some weed sprouts.

            My “no waste” product is not working?
Many so-called “no waste” or “waste free” products are simply made with hulled seeds and grains that many birds don’t like. The birds “throw” those seeds and grains out and so, in fact, the products are wasted. A true “no waste” product should contain only ingredients such as sunflower hearts or chips, nuts, nut meats and fruit.
