I live in CT, any tips for getting more birds at my feeders?

Question

I have quite the range now of different birds. Most of them wreck the feeders I buy because they chew on the plastic part that holds in the feed, lol. I have high energy suet out there as well. How do i get different types of birds to come and visit?

Answer 1

Birds are highly attracted to peanut butter and bread. Put that by your feeder and you're good to go!

Answer 2

When I had plastic ports wrecked (by squirrels), I made my own replacements from aluminum (from soda cans). No further problems.

The more different foods and the more types of feeders you have, the more birds you will attract. Do you have oriole and hummingbird feeders? Finch feeders loaded with niger? Platform feeders? Birdbaths with dripping water? (The sound is supposed to be attractive.)
