The most effective way to attract the largest variety of birds to your yard is to put out separate feeders for each food:

• starling-resistant suet feeder
• a house feeder for sunflower
• a bluebird feeder
• a wire mesh cage feeder for peanuts
• a nectar feeder
• a tube feeder for thistle
• a stationary or tray fruit feeder
• a house or platform feeder for millet
