The hot pepper blend really does help with the squirrels!
I love how this birdseed is specific to the region where I live, and the birds that frequent My Yard… I also love how it is conveniently auto shipped, so I always have birdseed ready for my little babies!
The birds here are ignoring the jelly. Maybe it is for orioles?
Hi Marianne. Thanks so much for sharing this. Yes, this jelly is primarily for orioles. In your area, their peak activity is typically May through July, so February is a bit early to see much interest.
I’d recommend setting it out in late spring when orioles return in full swing. During May to July, you’re much more likely to see them visiting regularly. Placing it in an open, visible area near trees can also help them spot it quickly.
We hope you’ll see lots of bright orange visitors once the season begins!
Like the review title states: I was skeptical and I was wrong! Premium bird food is totally worth the small added cost. I previously bought all my bird food at The Home Depot and wasn't very picky, but I also wasn't seeing a lot of action at my feeder. I purchased the cardinal blend from THBC, cleared out the old bird food, and about 24-hours later noticed it was like a "cardinal buffet now open" sign was placed on the feeder. I'm a convinced and happy customer. If you like seeing birds have a nice meal, don't hesitate to buy.
Love the feeder. Shipping was quick. Packaging was perfect. Great to work with.
After I put out the Finch blend, I now have several finches every day.
My birds love the finch and bunting seed blend! I have definitively seen more house finshes since I put it in the feeder. Thanks so much! My birds are so spoiled.
I always seem to be running out and need to order more frequently. I decided that since the bird food was coming in a couple days and I would get some thing from the grocery store well guess what they snubbed it I can’t wait to get the shipment and see the difference and susan is so wonderful I love support supporting small business.
We re always happy with our purchases. Birds are very happy. We did have a problem with raccoons getting into our feeder, but since we started to use the hot pepper seed we no longer have a problem.
Thank you!
I am thrilled with the Recycled Suet Feeder with Tail Prop. The suet feeder is robust in appearance, easy to fill and aesthetically pleasing to view from my kitchen window. The woodpeckers are delighted by this new addition.. I anticipate adding a few more of these suet holders on our property as we establish various feeding stations within view of our house. I am also delighted that recycled materials are being used in the construction of these suet holders.
On a different note, I wish to comment on the excellent customer service I received regarding a shipping concern. The issue was addressed swiftly. Thank you to The Happy Birdwatcher Co. for their quality products, birdseed and customer service.
Perfect surprise gift for a bird lover! Great company to work with!
As an amateur bird watcher, I had no idea that I could feed certain birds. I live in Hawaii and have an abundance of birds but the cardinals are seldomly seen and I have a fondness for them. I purchased the cardinal feed and its magical. The doves and minahs are not very interested but the cardinals definitely are. I highly recommend!!
I refill the suet feeder and less than 24 hours later it is empty again.
I like the quality of the bird seed, the convenience, the letter that comes with each box and the environmentally packaged box. A variety of birds like the sunflower chips year round and this is what I order now.
I got a variety of birds. They seemed to love it. So quality. Hate it’s expensive after shipping added in but a wonderful brand.
It is probably me, but did not think peanuts are needed. I think the peanuts attrack squirrels.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Ed!
In-shell peanuts are actually a favorite of crows, blue jays, and other larger backyard birds. They love the challenge of cracking them open, and it gives them something substantial to carry off and cache.
You’re absolutely right that squirrels enjoy them too. Peanuts are high-value food in the wildlife world. If squirrels are becoming a little too enthusiastic in your yard, feeder placement or a baffle can help, and some folks choose to offer peanuts in a separate feeder just for the larger birds.
I appreciate you giving Corvid Supreme a try. It was designed specifically with jays and crows in mind, and when they discover it, they tend to make it a regular stop.
Happy birdwatching!
This feeder was the seventh type that I added to my setup. I feed at least twenty species of birds, regularly including three species of woodpeckers who also enjoy the suet in the suet holder. Not only do the woodpeckers use this feeder but also, crows, finches, and nuthatches. This was a great addition to my garden. The birds not only amuse me, but my daughter is also growing fond of them. I am leaving for three weeks on vacation, and she is coming to my house to take care of my two dogs. When I was giving her feeding instructions, she said, now show me how to feed the birds. The birdseed is also great. When I first set out my feeders, I did not know how to judge how much I needed. I initially ran out of see from Birdwatchers and purchased another brand from Amazon. My birds refused to eat the Amazon seed, and I ended up throwing it away. Even though it resembled what I had been using, the discerning birds said no thankyou.
