thevalerieleigh Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Seems the sparrows have found our tiny glass bowl with bird seed so I'd like to purchase a bird feeder to accommodate the masses, LOL. Anyone know where, locally, I can find a basic bird feeder? Many thanks, Val Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirley Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 The pet store beside Soriana has bird feeders. They have hummer feeders, don't know about seed feeders. FYI sparrows also like sugar water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thevalerieleigh Posted June 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Great, thanks! We had to give up on our hummingbird feeders several years ago. The bees would take over and it was just miserable to try to even go into our garden. Our little male Chihuahua got stung when walking down the sidewalk about 10 feet from one of the feeders. The bees just go into a frenzy, gunk up the feeder(s) and even the hummingbirds can't drink. We bought the expensive feeders that are supposed to keep bees away but that was a waste of money. Anyway, now that the other birds seem to be enjoying the seed out on the ledge, we'd like to provide a better option for them. We'll check out these stores and hopefully, find success. Thanks for the help and info. Valerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sr. Sherry Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 I purchased sparrow bird seed (mijo blanco, mijo rojo, avena) to entice the many sparrows here, however, they don´t seem to like the seed, at all! Anyone know what type of bird seed they would like and what brand to buy? Or, any other kind of food they would like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngusMactavish Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Alpiste is Spanish for the word birdseed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
