My current birdfeeders

[futurejake]

I have a seed feeder, a peanut feeder and a suet ball feeder, plus I put out half coconuts with suet every now and then. They are all popular with small birds (I'm in the UK, for context): robins, sparrows, all sorts of tits, and for an intense period in the summer, they also get mobbed by starlings! Magpies will occasionally come and have a go, too. Wood pigeons also hang around to eat anything that drops to the floor. It's quite the hive of activity! :-)

That's a good assortment.

We have location tags. I can add one for UK if you want to post about your birds / garden.

That's cool. I had to look up the wood pigeon -- very pretty.

I have a lot of ground-feeding birds here too. (I'm in central Illinois. Look for the Great Lakes, then go south a bit.) Cardinals, mourning doves, sparrows, house finches, and currently bluejays.

That's great. I love the variety!
