Bird feeder question?

Question

Well I just put some seed in a new bird feeder today. How long do you think it will take until the birds come?

Do I need to lure them somehow?

Answer 1

No, they will come on their own very soon. Birds are naturally cautious of new things, but once they understand that it won't hurt them (and has food) they will come. As soon as a few show up, more will follow. I think it should take less than a week... possibly a couple days.
