Hey all,
Im hoping you may be able to help me...
So for the last 5 months I have had a roofed bird table with seed & a hanging feeder attached to the side, with suet pellets in, which thankfully many birds have been enjoying.
Now because I have really gained an interest in having birds in the garden now & particularly with my new found interest in bird photography... at the beginning of this week I set up a new branched feeding station. Now alongside the suet pellet feeder hanging on one branch, I now also have a range of other feeders with a range of different offerings from mealworms to sun flour hearts. (I still have the table in the garden now just for seed & mealworms on top)
However it seems that apart from the very odd occasion, the birds still seem to go straight to the suet pellet feeder & not the other new offerings very much at all... so my question is: Why are they still going straight to the Suet pellets, even on the new set up? Is it because it may take the birds a few weeks to realise there are new foods & what they are?
many thanks everyone
